Quote by Walter Reisch

“Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky?

He reconstitutes a set of premises without which no deconstruction could have seen the light of day.”
