Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul. – Michel Eyquem de Montaigne
A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved problems. And not only so. It gives a relish, and facility, for successfully pursuing the unsolved ones. – Abraham Lincoln
