Edward Hopper, Captain Kelly’s House, 1931
“To speculate without facts is to attempt to enter a house of which one has not the key, by wandering aimlessly round and round, searching the walls and now and then peeping through the windows. Facts are the key.”
Julian Huxley, Essays in Popular Science, 1926
