“Every being, created by God and unspoiled by man, is perfect, strictly defined and autonomous, entirely complete and at the same time with a built-in ability to grow and develop.

“Life continues even if no one has proven to us the shape and size of the Earth, even if no one has informed us about the composition of air and the depth of sky.

“Натрупаният опит се събира във фокуса на сегашната фаза на цивилизацията - връх на всички култури. Богатството на този фокус, височината на този връх откриват възможност да се огледат вечните въпроси така, както никога досега. При едно условие - онзи, който се изкачи на този връх, трябва да оттегли упованието си от изкуствените му опори и да се довери както самата Земя на вечните принципи. Тогава чак започва свободното пътуване около слънцето на истината.”
― Danail Hristov, The Natural Science and Biology at the Threshold of the 21st Century
