“what characterizes the empirical method is its manner of exposing to falsification, in every conceivable way, the system to be tested. Its
aim is not to save the lives of untenable systems but, on the contrary, to select the one which is by comparison the fittest, by
exposing them all to the fiercest struggle for survival.”
― Karl Popper, The Logic of Scientific Discovery

“The one eye of the Godhead is blind, the one ear of the Godhead is deaf, the order of its being is crossed by chaos. So be patient with the crippledness of the world and do not overvalue its consummate beauty.”

“In cases of neurosis and psychosis, the unconscious attempted to compensate the one-sided conscious attitude. The unbalanced individual defends himself against this, and the opposites become more polarized. The corrective impulses that present themselves in the language of the unconscious should be the beginning of a healing process, but the form in which they break through makes them unacceptable to consciousness.”
― C.G. Jung
