“You might think that at age seventy-one, with so many published materials and a host of prizes indicating how popular my publications are, that I would wish to retire, to lounge and snooze over someone else’s hard work. But you see, my work can never be finished, because every time I put fingers to keyboard I like to believe that I am changing the world just that bit. And when one knows one is doing good, there can be no argument for giving it up.”
——Dr. Jefrey Lant
