    Secrecy is the badge of fraud.
    John, Sir Chadwick (b. 1941)

    Ideas are so much flat psychological surface unless some mirrored matter gives them cognitive lustre. This is why as a pragmatist I have so carefully posited ‘reality’ ab initio, and why throughout my whole discussion, I remain an epistemologist realist.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    Oh, if thy pride did not our joys control,
    What world of loving wonders shouldst thou see!
    For if I saw thee once transformed in me,
    Then in thy bosom I would pour my soul;
    William Alexander, Earl O Stirling (1580?–1640)
