“And even we, while we have been endeavouring to represent all philosophical systems as mere inventions of the imagination, to connect together the otherwise disjointed and discordant phenomena of nature, have insensibly been drawn in, to make use of language expressing the connecting principle of this one, as if they were the real chains which Nature makes use of to bind together here several operations.” — Adam Smith
