But in the name of the experimental method and out of our poor knowledge are we really entitled to claim that everything happens by chance to the exclusion of all other possibilities?

Argument is conclusive but it does not remove doubt so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth unless it finds it by the method of experiment.

There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge... observation of nature reflection and experimentation. Observation collects facts reflection combines them experimentation verifies the result of that combination.

The true method of knowledge is experiment.

The initial motivation of the experiment which led to this discovery was a subconscious feeling for the inexhaustible wealth of nature a wealth that goes far beyond the imagination of man.

We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.

The aesthetic came along the way I think - just through experimenting and going on tour and trying stuff out on stage having fun with it and not taking it too seriously. If I had a ballgown at home I'd wear it onstage. If I found something in a charity shop I'd wear it. That's where it grew from - just wanting to play dress-up.

Having robbed children of any sense that their Father is in Heaven and that they are His creation we then launched an experiment in raising them without earthly fathers too. Having neither a Father in heaven or a father in the home many young men make gangs their families.

After all when the world looks to America they look to us because we are the most successful political and economic experiment in human history.

Happiness is the only sanction of life where happiness fails existence remains a mad and lamentable experiment.
