"The Encyclopedists take man around the estate ... There is what learned men have acquired for you ...  Consider it henceforth as something which is ours." -- Bernard Groethuysen 1939

"The unit of the Encyclopedia is the Fact. A fact is a corpsed deed; from L. factum, done, but with the residuum of accomplished action subtracted. Facts lie there pickled and are generally wrong, scribes' minds having swerved from the continuum of action." -- Hugh Kenner 1979

"Working at an encyclopedic dictionary swamps your mind with facts and figures, and these were the ones that were triggered this morning as I stared down the bee and tried to tune-out the bird: the bones of a pigeon weigh less than its feathers." -- Eleanor Williams 2016
