Humboldt's Cosmos Quotes

“For throughout history, the synthesizing impulse has proved a powerful even world-changing, tool for understanding the universe, capable of penetrating the intricate,contradictory web of surface phenomena to reveal the universal,unified cosmos beneath--that fundamental,unchanging phenomenon we call truth.”
― Gerard Helferich, Humboldt's Cosmos: Alexander von Humboldt and the Latin American Journey that Changed the Way We See the World
