"The illiterate of the 21st century

will not be those who cannot read and write,

but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn."

"[M]y work, which I've done for a long time,

was not pursued in order to gain the praise I now enjoy,

but chiefly from a craving after knowledge,

which I notice resides in me more than in most other men.

And therewithal, whenever I found out anything remarkable,

I have thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper,

so that all ingenious people might be informed thereof."

-- Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

(1632-1723) Biologist
