All those formal systems, in mathematics and physics and the philosophy of science, which claim to give foundations for certain truth are surely mistaken. I am tempted to say that we do not look for truth, but for knowledge. But I dislike this form of words, for two reasons.

And second, what we fail to find is not truth, but certainty; the nature of truth is exactly the knowledge that we do find.
