Three Story Intellect

There are one-story intellects, two-story intellects, and three-story intellects with skylights. All fact collectors who have no aim beyond their facts are one-storymen. Two-story men compare, reason, generalize, using the labor of fact collectors as their own. Three-story men idealize, imagine, predict--their best illumination comes from above the skylight.

--Oliver Wendell Holmes
