    “Physics is experience, arranged in economical order.”
    —Ernst Mach (1838–1916)

    “There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge available to us: observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination. Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    “Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “The “Communism” of the English intellectual is something explicable enough. It is the patriotism of the deracinated.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)
