Quote by William Shakespeare

The summer's flower is to the summer sweetThough to itself it only live and die

Summary

This quote suggests that the beauty and sweetness of a flower in the summer season is only meaningful within the context of that particular time. The flower, despite its short lifespan, contributes to the overall vibrancy and joy of summer. However, it exists solely for itself, experiencing life and death in isolation. The quote implies that sometimes, the value and significance of something lie solely in its existence and purpose in a specific moment, rather than having a lasting impact.

Since open-mindedness and experimentation are supposed to be

Since open-mindedness and experimentation are supposed to be the indispensable attributes of our 'scientific' civilization, it seems strange that so many scientists are reluctant to try out personally the hypothesis that God came first and man afterward. They prefer to believe that man is the chance product of evolution; that God, the Creator, does not exist. I can only report that I have experimented with both concepts and that, in my case, the God concept has proved to be a better basis for living than the man-centered one. Nevertheless, I would be the first to defend your right to think as you will. I simply ask this question: in your own life, have you ever really tried to think and act as though there might be a God? Have you experimented?

I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given, is our society. Your education, and your mother and father, they tell you this is how it is, but then you hit adolescence and you think, 'Is it? Why? Why is it like that?' Sometimes that questioning leads to something more.
