"A human life, I think, should be well  rooted in some spot of native land, where it may get the love of tender  kinship for the face of earth, for the labours men go forth to, for the  sounds and accents that haunt it, for whatever will give that early home  a familiar unmistakeable difference amidst the future widening of  knowledge. The best  introduction to astronomy is to think of the nightly heavens as a little  lot of stars belonging to one's own homestead."
 
 - George Eliot, "Daniel Deronda"
