"Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house."
Henri Poincare
"Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum mechanics cannot possibly have understood it."
Niels Bohr
"Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done. One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen."
Robert Heinlein
