"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. ... We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress." -J. Robert Oppenheimer

I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.”
-Tesla

Faster, Faster, Until the Thrill of Speed Overcomes the Fear of Death. -Hunter S. Thompson

"I see a lot of patterns in our behavior as a nation that parallel a lot of other historical processes.

I've seen this story before."~Maynard James Keenan
