Quotations to think about

"He has only half learned the art of reading who has not added to it the more refined art of skipping and skimming." Lord Balfour (Prime Minister, 1902 - 05).

"If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn't thinking." Gen George S Patten, US Army.

The physicist Wolfgang Pauli divided incorrect answers into "wrong, very wrong, and not even wrong". (Times Higher Education, 17/11/11.)

"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny ...'" (Isaac Asimov)

" . . . experiments rarely tell us what we think they're going to tell us. That's the dirty secret of science." Kevin Dunbar,
