Excerpt:

"The unexpected discovery is the rare exception; most scientific advances 
depend on long-term, persistent, methodological research.  It's not the 
stuff of headlines or television docudramas, but it's the way that most 
science gets done.  Research citation analysis clearly bears this out." 
Eugene Garfield, 1990

"The past cannot be separated from the present without grievous loss.  The 
present without the past is insipid and meaningless; the past without the 
present is obscure.  The life of science, like the life of art, is 
eternal, and we must view it from the point of view of eternity." George 
Sarton, 1955
