海角大神

If we want to know the true value,

the real purpose, the exact quality of

anything, we must discover what it

possesses that separates it from

other things - what faculty, or

function, or principle, or law

pertains to it alone, and by which it

may be distinguished.

Oliver Bell Bunce,

19th-century American author

From 'Bachelor Bluff' (1881).
