*The philosopher is he who aspires to be at home everywhere.*
—Novalis
*I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.*
—Johannes Kepler
*Readers are touchingly loyal to the first history they learn—and if you challenge it, it’s as if you are taking away their childhoods. For a person who seeks safety and authority, history is the wrong place to look. Any worthwhile history is in a constant state of self-questioning.*
—Hilary Mantel
