A Random Passage

Our society needs more outdoor power tools:

"The common sense of mankind has associated the search after truth with seclusion and quiet. . . . Pythagoras, the light of Magna Græcia, lived for a time in a cave. Thales, the light of Ionia, lived unmarried and in private, and refused the invitations of princes. Plato withdrew from Athens to the groves of Academus. Aristotle gave twenty years to a studious discipleship under him. Friar Bacon lived in his tower upon the Isis. Newton indulged in an intense severity of meditation which almost shook his reason."

Henry Cardinal Newman
