quote for the day

"In spite of all the allegations of self-love, the facts at first associated with the name of a particular man end by being anonymous, lost forever in the ocean of universal science. Thus the monograph imbued with individual human quality becomes incorporated, stripped of sentimentalisms, in the abstract doctrine of the general treatise. To the hot sun of actuality will succeed-if they do succeed-the cold beams of the history of learning." - Santiago Ramon y Cajal
