But is this not all one single principle, only viewed from different sides?”

The people of the future will say 'meat-eaters' in disgust and regard us in the same way that we regard cannibals and cannibalism.”

And again, 'Without this theory no one can have a correct insight into truth.' And he says also, 'I warn the man who spurns these paths of knowledge that he cannot philosophize correctly.'
