“We dress our garden, eat our dinners, discuss the household with our wives, and these things make no impression, are forgotten next week; but in the solitude to which every man is always returning, he has a sanity and revelations, which in his passage into new worlds he will carry with him.

“No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker, with no past at my back.”
“Let there be worse cotton and better men.”
