Additional quotes by Will Durant

All science is a charted ignorance and belongs to Maya.

Grow strong, my comrade … that you may stand
Unshaken when I fall; that I may know
The shattered fragments of my song will come
At last to finer melody in you;
That I may tell my heart that you begin
Where passing I leave off, and fathom more.

The past is not dead. Indeed, it is often not even past.
