If You Want Something Done You Have to Do It Yourself_(Highlander II)
I Live the Life They Wish They Did_(Tricky)
Jesus Built My Hotrod_(Ministry)
You see it through a charmed medium: you can not discern that the gilding is slime and the silk draperies cobwebs; that the marble is sordid slate, and the polished woods mere refuse chips and scale bark._(Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte)
I know poetry is not dead, nor genius lost; nor has Mammon gained power over either, to bind or slay; they will both assert their existence, their presence, their liberty and strength again one day._(Jane Eyre in Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte)

+Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the same work, died similarly in 1933.

+There is no such thing as free energy. Anyone who advocates it does not know what he is talking about._(Alireza Haghighat)
+In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion._(Carl Sagan)
+There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement._(Lord Kelvin, 1900)

+Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth._(Jules Verne)
+Don't be afraid of hard work. Nothing worthwhile comes easily. Don't let others discourage you or tell you that you can't do it. In my day I was told women didn't go into chemistry. I saw no reason why we couldn't._(Gertrude Elion)
+The Nobel Prize is fine, but the drugs I've developed are rewards in themselves._(Gertrude Elion)
+...sometimes a scream is better than a thesis._(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
+The great tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact._(Thomas Henry Huxley)

+Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it._(Donald Knuth)
+My greatest contribution to the field of science is that I never entered it._(Colin Powell)
+We are perhaps not far removed from the time when we shall be able to submit the bulk of chemical phenomena to calculation._(Joseph Gay-Lussac, 1808)
+If mathematical analysis should ever hold a prominent place in chemistry - an aberration which is happily almost impossible - it would occasion a rapid and widespread degeneration of that science._(Aguste Comte, 1830)
