" For the mind of man is far from the nature of a clear and equal glass, wherein the beams of things should reflect according to their true incidence; nay, it is rather like an enchanted glass, full of superstition and imposture, if it be not delivered and reduced. "

― Francis Bacon , Instauratio Magna. Novum Organum. Nueva Atlántida. (Sepan Cuantos, #293)
