Wisdom

There is no wisdom save in truth. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas about truth are changeable. Only a little of the first fruits of wisdom, only a few fragments of the boundless heights, breadths and depths of truth, have I been able to gather.
- Luther, Martin

That was the choice of Achilles, and it is mine, too.
Asimov, Isaac
