- G. B. Shaw

Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.

Vampireware, n., a project capable of sucking the lifeblood out of anyone unfortunate enough to be assigned to it which never actually sees the light of day, but nonetheless refuses to die.
- Trygve Lode

Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.
- David L. Goodstein "States of Matter"

What we see is not reality in itself, but reality exposed to our method of questioning.
