Matching Quote
"History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did
burdock
and plantain sprout first?"
-Henry David Thoreau
