Quotes[edit]
- We gaze up at the same stars; the sky covers us all; the same universe encompasses us. What does it matter what practical system we adopt in our search for the truth? The heart of so great a mystery cannot be reached by following one road only.
- The Memorial of Symmachus, Prefect of the City (Quoted by Arnold J. Toynbee) Time of Troubles: Arnold J. Toynbee's twentieth century by Ian Hall
