“The mathematical thermology created by Fourier may tempt us to hope that, as he has estimated the temperature of the space in which we move, me may in time ascertain the mean temperature of the heavenly bodies: but I regard this order of facts as for ever excluded from our recognition.

“I've reached an unexpected point in my life where I no longer have the passion that I once did for the company, for the games and for the challenge of creation.”
