Summary

This quote suggests that heresies, considered as beliefs or opinions that go against established norms or doctrines, should be seen as the result of mankind's ceaseless quest for truth. Rather than casting heresies as something purely negative or deviant, they can be viewed as experiments, attempts made by individuals to find answers and fulfill their inherent curiosity. It implies that even if heresies are deemed erroneous or rejected by society, they emerge from an underlying desire to understand and explore the realm of truth.
