"All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. "

    Nevertheless, Humankind should continue to broaden the length and breath of their conscious minds and grasp as much truth and knowledge as possible. Oh, and the developmental difference between a child's mind and adult's mind is infinitely significant. The difference between death and life.
     -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
