I believe in absolute oneness of God and, therefore, also of humanity. We have but one soul. The rays of the sun are many through refraction. Whether, therefore, I will or not, I must involve in my experiment the whole of my kind. Nor can I do without experiment.
Life is but an endless series of experiments.
I must be taken with all my faults. I am a searcher after truth. My experiments I hold to be infinitely more important than the best-equipped Himalayan expeditions. It has been my misfortune or good fortune to take the world by surprise. New experiments, or old experiments in new style, must sometimes engender misunderstanding.
