– Én is – tette hozzá Valentin. – Azonban a baj gyökere nem ott van, hogy az ember, legalábbis az átlagember, könnyedén leküzdi ezt a tudásvágyat. Szerintem ilyen vágy egyáltalán nem létezik. Él bennünk viszont egy olyan vágy, mely arra ösztönöz, hogy igyekezzünk mindent megérteni, ehhez viszont nincs szükség tudásra. A feltételezés, hogy van isten, semmihez nem mérhető, nagyszerű lehetőséget nyújt arra, hogy mindent tökéletesen megértsünk, anélkül, hogy mindent tökéletesen megismernénk… Vázoljon az ember előtt egy végtelenül leegyszerűsített világmodellt, s magyarázzon minden eseményt ennek a leegyszerűsített modellnek a segítségével. Ehhez a megközelítéshez semmiféle ismeretre nincs szükség. Elég néhány betanult képlet, valamint az, amit intuíciónak nevezünk, gyakorlati érzék és az úgynevezett józan ész.”
