The great blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach; but we shut our eyes, and like people in the dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for, without finding it.
- Seneca


Our ideas, like orange-plants, spread out in proportion to the size of the box which imprisons the roots.
- Edward Bulwer Lytton
