    “Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky? Once the question mark has arisen in the human brain the answer must be found, if it takes a hundred years. A thousand years.”
    —Walter Reisch (1903–1963)

    “Where the Moosatockmaguntic
    Pours its waters in the Skuntic,
    Met, along the forest side
    Hiram Hover, Huldah Hyde.
    She, a maiden fair and dapper,
    He, a red-haired, stalwart trapper,
    Hunting beaver, mink, and skunk
    In the woodlands of Squeedunk.”
    —Bayard Taylor (1825–1878)

    “He that depends
    Upon your favors swims with fins of lead,
    And hews down oaks with rushes.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
