“To study the writings of the ancients is right, because it is a great boon for us to be able to make use of the labors of so many men... But yet there is a great danger lest in a too absorbed study of these works we should become infected with their errors”
— René Descartes 1596 – 1650 CE via Haldane and Ross
from Rules for the Direction of the Mind
