"There are one-story intellects, two-story intellects, and three-story intellects with skylights.
All fact collectors with no aim beyond their facts are one-story men.
Two-story men compare reason and generalize, using labors of the fact collectors as well as their own.
Three-story men idealize, imagine, and predict. Their best illuminations come from above through the skylight."
-Oliver Wendell Holmes
