“What does it matter if I have not published such and such investigations, if another has published them?”

One seeks a name on a plaque while the earth turns without asking who stands upon it. It is a quiet vanity to hoard knowledge one could share, as if truth belonged to a single person rather than the air we all breathe. We forget that discovery is not a trophy for the finder but a light for everyone walking in the dark.
