The "Turtles all the way down" quote, as commonly referred to, comes from
Lewis Carroll.  "Goedel, Escher, Bach" may be the path through which many of
us youngsters have become familiar with it.  There are seminal books whose
fruit is the number of individauls drawn to a subject.  One needs to remember
that authors are themselves drawn to a subject and they are likely to refer
to these seeds.
