| gptkbp:famousQuote |
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. A subtle thought that is in error may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths of great value. The_most_exciting_phrase_to_hear_in_science,_the_one_that_heralds_new_discoveries,_is_not_'Eureka!'_but_'That's_funny...' |
