“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased.

—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

—A.E. (Alfred Edward)

—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
