“We do not dwell in the Palace of Truth.”

— Oliver Heaviside

Electromagnetic Theory (1893) Vol. 1, p. 1. https://books.google.com/books?id=9ukEAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA1
Context: We do not dwell in the Palace of Truth. But, as was mentioned to me not long since, "There is a time coming when all things shall be found out." I am not so sanguine myself, believing that the well in which Truth is said to reside is really a bottomless pit.
