"I shall not pass over silently that certain people...don't want to presume to go beyond their venerable predecessors. But having thus covered up their inertia, they dawdle about lazily and deride, ridicule and mock industriousness shown by others in the quest and discovery of truth." -- Richard of St. Victor, northern France, c. 1160 (trans M.D. Cheny, J. Taylor, and L.K. Little)
