Quote #5 on Education Struggle Quotes >> Science and Biology
“When I was a young man, I was wonderfully desirous of that wisdom which they call a history of nature; for it appeared to me to be a very sublime thing to know the causes of everything, why each thing is generated, why it perishes and why it exists.”
