Quote from John Ruskin,


"Without seeking, truth cannot be known at all.
It can neither be declared from pulpits,
nor set down in articles, nor in any wise prepared
and sold in packages ready for use.
Truth must be ground for every man by itself out of it such,
with such help as he can get, indeed,
but not without stern labor of his own."
