"Rather than resorting to foxes and hedgehogs (a fox knows many things, but a hedgehog knows one big thing), I tend to think about modern scientists as either the drillers of ever-deeper holes (now the dominant route to fame) or scanners of wide horizons (now a much diminished group). I have always preferred to scan as far and as wide as my limited capabilities have allowed me to do so." ― Vaclav Smil, author of How the World Really Works.
