The influence of animal or vegetable life on matter is infinitely beyond the range of any scientific enquiry hitherto entered on.

Vyacheslav Molotov
The growth of New England was a result of the aggregate efforts of a busy multitude, each in his narrow circle toiling for himself, to gather competence or wealth. The expansion of New France was the achievement of a gigantic ambition striving to grasp a continent. It was a vain attempt. View quote
