    Our ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature.
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    Luxury spreads its ample board before their eyes; but they are excluded from the banquet. Plenty revels over the fields; but they are starving in the midst of its abundance: the whole wilderness has blossomed into a garden; but they feel as reptiles that infest it.
    —Washington Irving (1783–1859)
