In the writings of popular yet mediocre authors the most that we find is what they want to convey; whereas in the works of the systematic thinker, who embraces everything with his mind, we never lose sight of the whole, and of the way in which every- thing fits together. The former seek and find their needle by the light of a match only giving a miserable glimmer at one spot, while the latter strikes a light that spreads all round. #GeorgChristophLichtenberg
