Quotes

"The spread of civilisation may be likened to a fire; first, a feeble spark, next a flickering flame, then a mighty blaze, ever increasing in speed and power."; "The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane."; "Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more."; "Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine."; "I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything."
