"Philosophy is to be studied, not for the sake of any definite answers to its question, since no definite answers can, as a rule, be known to be true, but rather for the sake of the question themselves; because these questions, enlarge our conception of what is possible, enrich our intellectual imagination and diminish thc dogmatic assurance which closes the mind against spcculalion; but above all because, through the greatness of the universe which philosophy contemplates, the mind also is rendered great, and becomes capable of that union with the universe which constitutes its highest good."
--Bertrand Russell, The Problems of Philosophy, pg. 159
