But how can the present decide what will be judged in the future? We are doing the work of prophets without their gift. We replaced reason with logical deduction; but although we all started from the same point of departure, we came to divergent results. Proof disproved proof, and finally we had to recur to faith - to axiomatic faith in the rightness of ones one reasoning. That is the crucial point. We have thrown all ballast overboard; only one anchor holds us; faith in ones self. [But] the fact is: I no longer believe in my infallibility. That is why I am lost. - Darkness at Noon
