Come to think about it..

 "At five years old , mortals are not prepared to be citizens of the world, to be stimulated by 
abstract nouns, to soar above preference into impartiality; and that prejudice in favor of milk 
with which we blindly begin, is a type of the way body and soul must get nourished at least 
for a time. The best introduction to astronomy is to think of the nightly heavens as a little lot 
of stars belonging to one's own homestead."

Daniel Derondo
