"If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it." --- Albert Einstein, 1879-1955

"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. That is the principal difference between a dog and a man." --- Mark Twain, 1835-1910

"Rejecting theory as useless in order to work only on everyday things is like proposing to cut the roots of a tree because they do not carry fruit." --- Marquis de Condorcet, 1743-1794
