Born in 1866 – Lev Shestov, Russian philosopher.

“The scientist will not take a step without looking around him, without asking where he is going, without calculating, and is afraid to budge from his place. He wishes to know beforehand where he will arrive. The believer goes forward, without looking to the right or to the left, without asking where he is going, without calculating. Which of these two methods leads us to ‘truth?'”
