Lawrence M. Krauss
“At the heart of quantum mechanics is a rule that sometimes governs politicians or CEOs - as long as no one is watching, anything goes.”
Lawrence M. Krauss

Plutarch
“The fact is that men who know nothing of decency in their own lives are only too ready to launch foul slanders against their betters and to offer them up as victims to the evil deity of popular envy.”
Plutarch

Lawrence M. Krauss
“I don’t mind not knowing. It doesn’t scare me. —RICHARD FEYNMAN”
Lawrence M. Krauss, A Universe from Nothing

Richard Dawkins
“When we look at a solid lump of iron or rock, we are 'really' looking at what is almost entirely empty space. It looks and feels solid and opaque because our sensory systems and brains find it convenient to treat it as solid and opaque. It is convenient for the brain to represent a rock as solid because we can't walk through it. 'Solid' is our way of experiencing things that we can't walk through or fall throug, because of the electromagnetic forces between atoms. 'Opaque' is the experience we have when light bounces off the surface of an object, and none of it goes through.”
Richard Dawkins, The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution

Maya Angelou
“Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.”
Maya Angelou
