"Since all the sciences, and especially psychology, are still immersed in
such tremendous realms of the uncertain and the unknown, the best that any
individual scientist, especially any psychologist, can do seems to be to
follow his own gleam and his own bent, however inadequate they may be. In
fact, I suppose that actually this is what we all do. In the end, the only
sure criterion is to have fun."
