"...I was occupied by exploded systems, mingling, like an unadept, a thousand contradictory theories, and floundering desperately in a very slough of multifarious knowledge, guided by an ardent imagination and childish reasoning, till an accident again changed the current of my ideas." -- Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, 'Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus'
