A quotation from Brecht

GALILEO: The aim of science is not to open the door to everlasting wisdom, but to set a limit to everlasting error.
 
[Es ist nicht ihr Ziel, der unendlichen Weisheit eine Tiir zu offnen, sondern eine Grenze zu setzen dem unendlichen Irrtum.]

Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) German poet, playwright, director, dramaturgist
Life of Galileo [Leben des Galilei], sc. 9 (1940) [tr. Sauerlander/Manheim (1955)]
