"I have sinned against the wisdom of the creator and, justly, I
have been punished. I wanted to improve his work because, in
my blindness, I believed that a link in the astonishing chain of
laws that govern and constantly renew life on the surface of the
Earth had been forgotten. It seemed to me that weak and
insignificant man had to redress this oversight."
--------Justus von Liebig, inventor of chemical agriculture, when
looking back on his life and work. From: Agrikulturchemie, 8. Auflage,
1865.
