en We sent a telegram immediately to announce our discovery, and an article crediting me for the discovery was published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

en Even granting that the genius subjected to the test of critical inspection emerges free from all error, we should consider that everything he has discovered in a given domain is almost nothing in comparison with what is left to be discovered.

en In looking for our historic town square, we scouted in a lot of states. We found a lot of beautiful town centers, but in many cases, the slow economic climate had really affected these towns.

Along the way we discovered that there is such a different texture to Tennessee, that there would have been no way to recreate it in another state.

en It made it seem like I was his accomplice and I was trying to flee or get out of town. I was just part of this crazy situation I didn't know anything about.

  Robert Louis Stevenson
