Detail from Valle Romita Polyptych by Gentile da Fabriano (c. 1400)

“IF WE were able by ourselves to know perfectly all things, visible and invisible, it would be foolish for us to believe what we do not see. But our knowledge is so imperfect that no philosopher has ever been able to discover perfectly the nature of a single fly … If our intelligence is so weak, is it not foolish to be willing to believe about God only what we are able to find out by ourselves alone?”

— St. Thomas Aquinas
