“The highest reach of science is, one may say, an inventive power, a faculty of divination, akin to the highest power exercised in poetry; therefore, a nation whose spirit is characterised by energy may well be eminent in science; and we have Newton.

And what that energy, which is the life of genius, above everything demands and insists upon, is freedom; entire independence of all authority, prescription and routine, the fullest room to expand as it will.” MenWellsMayScienceSpiritNamesEnergyNationsRoomsGeniusHigherDemandAuthorityHighestIntellectualIndependenceFacultyRoutineSpheresNewtonPrescriptions Author:Matthew Arnold
