    “Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Scholars dream of finding small facts pregnant with great progeny.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “To be seventy years old is like climbing the Alps. You reach a snow-crowned summit, and see behind you the deep valley stretching miles and miles away, and before you other summits higher and whiter, which you may have strength to climb, or may not. Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
