"There is no nobler aspiration of the human intellect than the desire to compass the causes of things. The disposition to find explanations and to develop theories is laudable in itself. It is only in its ill placed use and abuse that it is reprehensible. The vitality of study quickly disappears when the object sought is a mere collocation of unmeaning facts"
- T. Chamberlain, 1897
