“ A true man of science takes at least twenty years on an average to make the great discovery, that is, to convince himself that one man's lunacy is not necessarily another man's delight, and that all of us here below are bored with the bees in our neighbors' bonnets. The coldest, most rational scientific madness is also the most intolerable. ”
 Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Journey to the End of the Night (1932). copy citation
