CVs as art are novelties. Galileo on novelties: ''In the matter of
introducing novelties. And who can doubt that it will lead to the worst
disorders when minds created free by God are compelled to submit slavishly
to an outside will? When we are told to deny our senses and subject them to
the whim of others? When people devoid of whatsoever competence are made
judges over experts and are granted authority to treat them as they please.
These are the novelites which are apt to bring about the ruin of
commonwealths and the subversion of the state.'' --written by his
handwriting in the margin of own copy of 'Dialogue on the Great World
Systems' [Coincidentally in 1642 only a couple years later Fermat wrote in the margin of a book that proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, Diophantine n > 2, ''Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet,'' and so Wiles had to prove it in 1993.]
