Those whose minds dwell before dinner on the spit, and after on the dishes, are fit only to be scullions.”
—Francis De Sales, Saint (1567–1622)
“The most important function of the university in an age of reason is to protect reason from itself.”

“Reach me a gentian, give me a torch!
let me guide myself with the blue, forked torch of this flower”
