This whole week at work I have been researching stuff related to science and homeschooling. Although my research findings have not been very fruitful, I did find some quotes I liked, from sources who are worthy of being quoted...
"To be Queen Elizabeth within a definite area, deciding sales, banquets, labor and holidays; to be Whitely within a certain area, providing toys, boots, sheets, cakes and books; to be Aristotle within a certain area, teaching morals, manners, theology and hygiene: I can understand why this might exhaust the mind, but I cannot understand how it could narrow it. How can it be a large career to tell other people's children about the Rule of Three (R's) and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No; a woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute."
G. K. Chesterton
"If I had to live my life over again, I would elect to be a trader of goods rather than a student of science. I think barter is a noble thing."
Albert Einstein
PS. I love the internet...and I can't really imagine life without Google. Latest found feature: Google Calculator. Calculate anything. 658,255.48 divided by 82

Those are really good quotes.
I like the internet too.
I agree with you on the Internet topic. It is a great resource to use. What would life be like without the Internet?
