A little of everything. Since we cannot be universal and know all there is to know about everything, we must know a little of everything. For it is very much better to know something about everything than to know all about something. This universality is the finest thing. If we can have both kinds of knowledge, better still. But if we have to choose, this must be our choice. The world knows this, and makes this choice, for the world is often a good judge.
- Blaise Pascal, The Pensees, 42
