It's been bugging me for days. I finally remembered who made that memorable quote ...
"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me".
O.K. I was only moderately close in the telling!
Apologies to Isaac Newton.
