The great tragedy of science—the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact — Thomas Huxley                       Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible                       There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance – Hippocrates                       It's your ATTITUDE, not your APTITUDE, that determines your ALTITUDE!                       The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane. --Nikola Tesla                       What I cannot create, I do not understand --Richard Feynman                      Science is organized knowledge...                                     Wisdom is organized life -Immanuel Kant                        I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. --Albert Einstein                          It is strange that only extraordinary men make the discoveries, which later appear so easy and simple. -- Georg C. Lichtenberg                           A physicist, a biologist, and a chemist were going to the ocean for the first time. The physicist saw the ocean and was fascinated by the waves. He said he wanted to do some research on the fluid dynamics of the waves and walked into the ocean. Obviously he was drowned and never returned. The biologist said he wanted to do research on the flora and fauna inside the ocean and walked inside the ocean. He, too, never returned. The chemist waited for a long time and afterward, wrote the observation, “The physicist and the biologist are soluble in ocean water.” -- Andy Simmons, from Reader's Digest.
