Quotes

• “If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders.”
• “In the Middle Ages people built cathedrals, where the whole town would get together and make a thing that's greater than any individual person could do and the society would kind of revel in that. We don't do that as much anymore, but in a sense this is kind of like building a cathedral.”
• “Anything which uses science as part of its name isn't: political science, creation science, computer science.”
• “What’s important is not just to develop the technology; it’s to develop the processes.”
• “It is not that there is some magic technology. It is what are you going to do with it?”
• “Universities are meant to pass the torch of civilization.”
