Science and art, or by the same token, poetry and prose differ from one another like a journey and an excursion. The purpose of the journey is its goal, the purpose of an excursion is the process. Franz Grillparzer
John Charles Polanyi quote: "Science exists, moreover, only as a journey toward troth...."
