Pure Truth is for You Alone (or Why I'm Not a Southern Baptist)

This is a quotation from Friedrich Schiller, who was a German historian and scholar. The above URL is to a long post by Scott Horton at No Comment about Shiller. The quote:

If God were to hold all Truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left hand only the steady and diligent drive for Truth, albeit with the proviso that I would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, I would with all humility take the left hand, and say, Father, I will take this–the pure Truth is for You alone.
