Truth is sought not because it is truth but because it is go

Summary

This quote implies that the pursuit of truth is driven by its value rather than solely for the sake of discovering the truth itself.

It suggests that people are not simply interested in factual accuracy, but also the positive impact that truth can have in various aspects of life, such as understanding, personal growth, making informed decisions, and fostering a just society.

By his machines man can dive and remain under water like a shark; can fly like a hawk in the air; can see atoms like a gnat; can see the system of the universe of Uriel, the angel of the sun; can carry whatever loads a ton of coal can lift; can knock down cities with his fist of gunpowder; can recover the history of his race by the medals which the deluge, and every creature, civil or savage or brute, has involuntarily dropped of its existence; and divine the future possibility of the planet and its inhabitants by his perception of laws of nature.
