“How much faith a person requires in order to flourish, how much “fixed opinion” he requires which he does not wish to have shaken, because he holds himself thereby―is a measure of his power (or more plainly speaking, of his weakness).”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“All our scientific and philosophic ideals are altars to unknown gods.”
― William James

“That the world is not striving toward a stable condition is the only thing that has been proved. Consequently, one must conceive its climatic conditions in such a way that it is not a condition of equilibrium.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power

“It is unanimously agreed that statistics depends somehow on probability. But, as to what probability is and how it is connected with statistics, there has seldom been such complete disagreement and breakdown of communication since the Tower of Babel. Doubtless, much of the disagreement is merely terminological and would disappear under sufficiently sharp analysis.”
― Leonard J. Savage, The Foundations of Statistics
