    It is the customary fate of new truths, to begin as heresies, and to end as superstitions.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

    I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
    And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
    He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
    And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
