"What a strange chaos is this wide atmosphere we breath! Every atom, impressed
with good and with ill, retains at once the motion which philosophers and sages
have imparted to it, mixed and combined in ten thousand ways with all that is
worthless and base. The air itself is one vast library, on whose pages are for
ever written all that man has ever said or woman whispered." Charles Babbage
