Quotes

God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.
There is always room at the top.
Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable.
When Daniel Webster died—on October 24th 1852—his family found two gifts from Sarah Goodrich among his personal effects. A paintbox, and “Beauty Revealed: Self-Portrait”, a tiny painting of idealised breasts

The painting that revealed a love affair between a statesman and a portraitist

看Wikipedia的 Leeuwenhoek; Antoni van (1632 - 1723)--2016年10月24日，Google公司更改其首頁的商標，以紀念雷文霍克的384歲冥誕。
當然，中文版因為沒有中國學者的投入 (中國禁Wikipedia，實在可惜)，比英、日文版的簡略。

Jan. 31：

李筱峰 新增了  2 張相片 。 《燦爛的星辰》停刊聲明 我這個專欄推出至今屆滿一個月，這一個月來我發現讀者很少，反應極為冷淡。我訪問過許多位親友及學生，大多不感興趣。甚至，連原本向我預約準備在年底集結成書出版的出版社總編輯，看了我這個月的「試寫」之後，也建議我停筆。如果讀者冷淡無興趣，而我又必須每天費時去溫習、爬梳龐雜資料才下筆，這對於癌術後的我，確實是無意義的負擔，而且也浪費民報珍貴的篇幅。因此我決定見「壞」就收，從今天起結束《燦爛的星辰》這個專欄。 今天的壽星舒伯特，有著名的「未完成交響曲」，是我喜愛的音樂。然而我這個「未完成」的專欄，卻是情非得已。 感謝民報這個月來容許我自由揮灑；也感謝這個月來每天看《燦爛的星辰》的少數讀友，當然也要請你們包涵體諒！
