'It is sometimes charged against philosophy that it achieves no agreed results. It is said, further, that not only does it not, but it cannot, achieve them. Thus philosophy must from its very nature be a barren pursuit, and barren pursuits are to be condemned. The philosopher is a man drunk with the exuberence of his own intelligence; he is a man who lights a torch to see the sun rise; he is a blind man looking in a dark room for a black cat that isn't there... and so on.'
