|
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.
I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.
Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ' Eureka!' but ' That's funny...'
