Alan W. Watts
“Thought and science are therefore raising problems which their terms of study can never answer, many of which are doubtless problems only for thought. The trisection of an angle is similarly an insoluble problem only for compass and straight-edge construction, and Achilles cannot overtake the tortoise so long as their progress is considered piecemeal, endlessly having the distance between them. However, as it is not Achilles but the method of measurement which fails to catch up with the tortoise, so it is not man but his method of thought which fails to find fulfillment in experience.”
Alan Wilson Watts, Nature, Man and Woman

H. James Harrington
“Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.”
H. James Harrington

Nikola Tesla
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
Nikola Tesla

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

“Those who think 'Science is Measurement' should search Darwin's works for numbers and equations.”
David H. Hubel, The History of Neuroscience in Autobiography DVD Wiesel/Hubel
