"Suppose after all that should prove to be right, and
it all ends in your butterflies and morlocks. That doesn't matter now.
The effort's real. It's worth going on with it. It's worth it--even then."
-Teddy Roosevelt to H. G. Wells, as quoted on page 499 in The Path Between the Seas: The Creation of the Panama Canal 1870-1914 by David McCullough
