“Science is defined in the dictionaries as the pursuit of the unknown; yet science today is coming more and more to insist that it not be bothered with this, and it has reached a point where anything that is not already known is frowned upon.”
Ivan T. Sanderson, Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come to Life
