    My case is a species of madness, only that it is a derangement of the Volition, & not of the intellectual faculties.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    [B]y going to the College [William and Mary] I shall get a more universal Acquaintance, which may hereafter be serviceable to me; and I suppose I can pursue my Studies in the Greek and Latin as well there as here, and likewise learn something of the Mathematics.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
