"A human life, I think, should be well rooted in some spot of a native
land, where it may get the love of tender kinship for the face of the
earth, for the labors men go forth to, for the sounds and accents that
haunt it, for whatever will give that early home a familiar
unmistakable difference amidst the future widening of knowledge. The
best introduction to astronomy is to think of the nightly heavens as a
little lot of stars belonging to one's own homestead." --George Eliot

Well said.
