The Wit and Wisdom of Alfred North Whitehead 1.
Philosophy begins in wonder.
And, at the end, when philosophic thought has done its best, the wonder remains. There have been added, however, some grasp of the immensity of things, some purification of emotion by understanding. Every philosophy is tinged with the colouring of some secret imaginative background, which never emerges explicity into its trains of reasoning. Philosophy is not a mere collection of noble sentiments. A deluge of such sentiments does more harm than good.
