“They
who love to inform themselves, are never idle. Though I have no
business of consequence to take care of, I am nevertheless
continually employed. I spend my life in examining things: I write
down in the evening whatever I have remarked, what I have seen, and
what I have heard in the day: every thing engages my attention, and
every thing excites my wonder: I am like an infant, whose organs, as
yet tender, are strongly affected by the slightest
objects.”
