Science, which cuts its way through the muddy pond of daily life without mingling with it, casts its wealth to right and left, but the puny boatmen do not know how to fish for it.

Source: My Past and Thoughts, vol. 3, pt. 8, Miscellaneous Pieces: Swiss Views (1921; tr. by Constance Garnett, 1924 --27).
-- Alexander Herzen, (Apr 6 1812-1870), Russian author; He distrusted governments, was sceptical of western democratic forms, and had great faith in the power of peasants and other ordinary people to organise themselves.
