A Quote by Shelby Foote
Of all the passions of mankind, the love of novelty most rules the mind. In search of this, from realm to realm we roam. Our fleets come loaded with every folly home.

Most of the limits are of our own world’s devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us.
