On devrait vivre comme un navire, ayant à son bord tout ce qu'il y a de nécessaire, et toujours prêt au combat.

- Ernst Jünger, Jeux Africains.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

- Robert A. Heinlein
