Theories are only good to cause us preoccupations and make our lives bitter.

Those poor people of the intellect want to put and ocean into a crystal glass. They suppose that universities can control all the wisdom of the universe and that all the laws of the cosmos are forced to submit themselves to their old academic rules.

The lovers of reason want to scrutinise the arcana of nature with the poor faculty of the intellect. We could not deny that the mind and reason are useful in practical life to carry out certain daily tasks, but wanting to analyse and solve the great mysteries of life and death with the intellect is the same as wanting to observe the stars with a microscope or bacteria with a telescope.

In reality, intellectual information is not personal experience. Erudition is not experimentation. The exclusively three-dimensional test, proof, or demonstration is not total, nor integral.
