“The great end of life is not knowledge, but action. What men need is as much knowledge as they can assimilate and organize into a basis for action; give them more and it may become injurious. One knows people who are as heavy and stupid from undigested learning as other are from over-fulness of meat and drink.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Nature is a collective idea, and, though its essence exist in each individual of the species, can never in its perfection inhabit a single object.”
—Henry Fuseli (1741–1825)
