"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone." --Blaise Pascal "What a splendid thing it is to embark on a new career, and to appear all of a sudden before the world of learning holding a book, in the same way that an unexpected comet flashes through space! No, I will no longer keep my book to myself; here it is, gentlemen: read it. I have undertaken and completed a forty-two day journey around my room."--incipit A Journey Around My Room (1794) by Xavier de Maistre |
