It is man's unique privilege, among all other organisms. By pursuing falsehood you will arrive at the truth!

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
About This Quote

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. This quote by Albert Einstein is a reminder that the path to truth is paved with obstacles. The truth is at hand, but our natural tendency is to ignore it—to accept only the information that confirms our preconceived notions. The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
