“Don’t tell me it’s impossible, tell me you can’t do it. Tell me it’s never been done … the only things we really know are Maxwell’s equations, the three laws of Newton, the two postulates of relativity, and the periodic table. That’s all we know that’s true. All the rest are man’s laws.” – Dean Kamen, inventor

Rita Rudner
…Separabis terram ab igne, subtile a spisso, suaviter cum magno ingenio. Ascendit a terra in coelum, iterumque descendit in terram, et recipit vim superiorum et inferiorum.

Sic mundus creatus est. …
Ok, ok,… cheap emotional blackmail, but…surely, it worth a look (and a thought…)
“Utram bibis? Aquam an undam?”
(What are you drinking? The water or the wave?)
John Fowles, The Magus
“We share an addiction. We’re approval junkies. …. Shine on you crazy diamond, because we’re just monkeys wrapped in suits, begging for the approval of others.”
Jake Green, Revolver (2005)
