Quote 17 of 40

From Emerson's Essays, by Ralph Waldo Emerson

But lest I should mislead any when I have my own head and obey my
whims, let me remind the reader that I am only an experimenter.  Do
not set the least value on what I do, or the least discredit on what I
do not, as if I pretended to settle anything as true or false.  I
unsettle all things.  No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I
simply experiment, and endless seeker with no past at my back.
