"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." -Buddha (563BC-483BC)
"There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors." -J. Robert Oppenheimer, quoted in Life, October 10, 1949
"The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books - a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects." -Albert Einstein
"In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual."
"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." -Galileo Galilei
"What is p?"
A mathematician: "p is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter."
A computer programmer: "p is 3.141592653589 in double precision."
A physicist: "p is 3.14159 plus or minus 0.000005."
An engineer: "p is about 22/7."
A nutritionist: "Pie is a healthy and delicious dessert!"
