"I seldom go into a natural history museum without feeling as if I were attending a funeral." ― John Burroughs Topic(s): History Tags: seldom More From John Burroughs "If we take science as our sole guide, if we accept and hold fast that alone which is verifiable, the old theology must go."

Heinlein "History repeats itself, and that’s one of the things that’s wrong with history."― Clarence Darrow
