Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Dutch Scientist
If any person examines by the microscope that part towards the extremity of the spider's body from whence its thread proceeds, he will observe the spot to be, as it were, surrounded by five several protuberances or risings, each ending in a point and altogether forming a kind of enclosure.
Quote examples
Guy Standing
English Actor

I was born on the prairies where the wind blew free and there was nothing to break the light of the sun. I was born where there were no enclosures.
