"The supreme task...is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws; only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them..."
Quote (and editing) is from:
Robert M. Pirsig
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Pirsig's comment on the quote:
"Intuition? Sympathy? Strange words for the origin of scientific knowledge."
Strange words indeed.
