But we are not dedicating or building any Capitol or Pyramid to human Pride, but found a holy temple in the human Intellect, on the model of the Universe... For whatever is worthy of Existence is worthy of Knowledge-which is the Image (or Echo) of Existence.
Francis Bacon (1855). “Francisci BAconi de Verulamio, ...: Novum organum, sive Indicia vera de interpretatione naturæ”, p.98
