    “Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Mahomet made the people believe that he would call a hill to him, and from the top of it offer up his prayers for the observers of the Law. The people assembled; Mahomet called the hill to come to him again and again; and when the hill stood still, he was never a whit abashed, but said, If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill.”
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
