“The chief want, in every State that I have been into, was a high and earnest purpose in its inhabitants. This alone draws out the great resources of Nature, and at last taxes her beyond her resources; for man naturally dies out of her.”

It is therefore essentially unlike the reality, although it must be accepted as true to that reality. Its truth consists in the fact that it is impossible to correct it, and in the fact that it only professes to consider one aspect of the percept.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (18391914)
“A magazine or a newspaper is a shop. Each is an experiment and represents a new focus, a new ratio between commerce and intellect.”
