    “It is not too much to say that next after the passion to learn there is no quality so indispensable to the successful prosecution of science as imagination. Find me a people whose early medicine is not mixed up with magic and incantations, and I will find you a people devoid of all scientific ability.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “Inexpressibly beautiful appears the recognition by man of the least natural fact, and the allying his life to it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The most general deficiency in our sort of culture and education is gradually dawning on me: no one learns, no one strives towards, no one teaches—enduring loneliness.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
