"Positively the principle may be expressed: In matters of intellect, follow your reason as far as it will take you, without regard to any other consideration. And negatively: In matters of the intellect do not pretend that conclusions are certain which are not demonstrated or demonstrable. That I take to be the agnostic faith, which if a man keep whole and undefiled, he shall not be ashamed to look the universe in the face, whatever the future may have in store for him."
Quotations from the book "Aphorisms and Reflections" where Henrietta A. Huxley,widow of Thomas Henry Huxley gathers multiple volumes of notes and esays from Mr. Huxley
