"Apakah Anda ingat apa yang dikatakan Darwin tentang musik? Dia mengklaim bahwa kekuatan memproduksi dan menghargainya ada di antara umat manusia jauh sebelum kekuatan bicara tercapai. Mungkin itu sebabnya kita sangat dipengaruhi olehnya. Ada ingatan samar-samar dalam jiwa kita tentang abad-abad yang berkabut itu ketika dunia masih di masa kecilnya. ' Itu ide yang agak luas, "kataku. Gagasan seseorang harus seluas Alam jika mereka menafsirkan Alam, 'jawabnya."

--- Arthur Conan Doyle

One's ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature,' he answered.
