Researchers

After finishing The Historian (finally...!), I got down to thinking a bit. So over dinner yesterday, I told Noodle:

There are generally two kinds of researchers - scientists are those who try to take a glimpse at the future, while historians are those who look into the past. Both share the same aim, that is to uncover some truths.

Noodle thought about what I said, and then added:

And artists and philosophers are those who preserve the present, especially when the society is under attack.

How true... God I love this woman. *Muaks
