Bernard of Chartres Quotes
We are like dwarfs the moderns sitting on the shoulders of giants the ancients. Our glance can thus take in more things and reach farther than theirs. It is not because our sight is sharper nor our height greater than theirs; it is that we are carried and elevated by the high stature of the giants.Bernard of Chartres
