As history books have showed;
But never a name to go down to fame
Compared with that of Toad!”

—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“In the world of letters, learning and knowledge are one, and books are the source of both; whereas in science, as in life, learning and knowledge are distinct, and the study of things, and not of books, is the source of the latter.”
