Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Monday begins on Saturday (№ 796)

We are all naive materialists, I thought. And we are all rationalists. We want everything immediately explained natsionalisticheskie, that is, reduced to a handful of already known facts. And none of us for a penny of dialectics. Nobody comes between known facts and some new phenomenon may lie the sea of the unknown, and then we declare the new phenomenon of the supernatural and therefore impossible.
