sam

"We believe that it requires great enthusiasms to deal accurately with
little things; and that it is, consequently, impossible to meet with a
reasonable or sober entomologist."
       Edinburgh Review, 1822
(Found in the preface to The Thermal Warriors: strategies of insect
survival, by Bernd Heinrich.)
