I have always believed that astrophysics should be the extrapolation of laboratory physics, that we must begin from the present universe and work our way backward to progressively more remote and uncertain epochs.
There are two essential epochs in any enterprise - to begin, and to get done.
There are lone figures armed only with ideas, sometimes with just one idea, who blast away whole epochs in which we are enwrapped like mummies. Some are powerful enough to resurrect the dead.

It is only when scientists remove God from creation that the Christian is faced with an irreconcilable situation.
The best men of the best epochs are simply those who make the fewest blunders and commit the fewest sins.
The ancient Roman code belongs to a class of which almost every civilised nation in the world can show a sample, and which, so far as the Roman and Hellenic worlds were concerned, were largely diffused over them at epochs not widely distant from one another.
Our thought are the epochs in our lives all else is but a journal of the winds that blew while we were here.
Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.
In epochs when cash payment has become the sole nexus of man to man.
