As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clearheaded science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no matter as such!

We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Spirit. This Spirit is the matrix of all matter. View quote
