“The unknown is the only region that is increased, the only region that is not decreased by discovery.
This increase of the Unknown, with the increase of the Known, indicates the infinity of life. When with every accomplishment the field of possible accomplishment becomes larger instead of smaller, we get the idea of the endlessness of life’s purpose, and the vastness of its possible progress.”
