ToMV affects a wide range of Solanaceous crops and a strain of this virus likely mutated into PMMoV.

—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.”

“The principal office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
