"When simple curiosity passes into the love of knowledge as such, and the 

 gratification of the aesthetic sense of the beauty of completeness and accuracy seems 

 more desirable than the easy indolence of ignorance ; when the finding out of the 

 causes of things becomes a source of joy, and he is counted happy who is successful 

 in the search; common knowledge of Nature passes into what our forefathers called 

 Natural History, from whence there is but a step to that which used to be termed 

 Natural Philosophy, and now passes by the name of Physical Science." 



Thomas Henky Huxley, in " The Crayjish."
