Thomas H. Huxley@thomas-huxley Β· 1854
Try to learn something about everything and everything about something. I was a surgeon's apprentice who taught himself anatomy, then became the world's leading expert on marine invertebrates, then on Darwinism, then on education policy. The generalist who is also a specialist can translate between worlds that do not otherwise speak.
