I'm reminded of Eduard Norden's quote on how he does research, to which I relate completely:

> When asked how he did research, the great Latinist and Historian of Religion Eduard Norden (1868-1941) explained: "I keep all my ties in one big shoe-box. Every time I try to pull out one specific tie, all the others come out as well, because everything in there is so entangled. This is also the way I do research."

Or perhaps Carl Sagan's, "To make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe."
