What guests say
Here's my favourite quote about Manchester in its nascent industrial days from Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society in 1875. Its meaning is self-evident and although it refers to science the sentiment applies to every other field of endeavour. 

‘Men, however great their learning often become indolent and unambitious to improve in knowledge for want of associating with others of similar talents and improvements. But science, like fire, is put in motion by collision. Where a number of such men have frequent opportunities of meeting and conversing together, thought begets thought, and every hint is turned to advantage. A spirit of enquiry glows in every breast.’
