    “Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
