 * An ounce of practice is worth a pound of precept. -- ENGLISH PROVERB (opening quote)
 * ``'We' is said in many ways. We may be three and me. We may be all that talks or all that moves, all that minds or all that matters. Since these boundaries are elastic, we have a task of demarcation; telling who or what we are, distinguishing ourselves from the other sorts of objects or organisms we find in our world.`` (opening passage, p. 3)

Francis Crick

 * The Astonishing Hypothesis&#58; The Scientific Search for The Soul
 * ``The book is mostly concerned with establishing a basis for scientific study of consciousness; however, Crick places the study of consciousness within a larger social context. Human consciousness is central to human existence and so scientists find themselves approaching topics traditionally left to philosophy, and religion.``

 * Journal of the American Society for Information Science 45: 235-250.


 * ``Thus did Otlet early in the century envisage the kind of encyclopedia the idea of which independently attracted H.G. Wells's interest in those last few fateful years before the outbreak of the Second World War (Rayward, 1992). It was an idea of encyclopedia not greatly dissimilar from that about which Bush was to speculate in the context of memex in the first years of peace following the War.`` (my emphasis)
 * ``In 1937 the Institute for Intellectual Co-operation organised a World Congress for Universal Documentation in Paris. This was an enormous congress attended by representatives of governments as well as by those interested in documentation in a more private capacity. [...] Here there was much talk of H. G. Wells' idea of a World Brain, a new form of the encyclopedia, an idea which, in a different form, Otlet had been writing about for decades. Here Otlet met Wells and made "magnificent improvisations". (p. 356) (my emphasis) -- Boyd Rayward (1975). The Universe of Information: The Work of Paul Otlet for Documentation and International Organisation (FID520), VINITI, Moscow
 * Rayward's words are too inconsistent; why on earth?
