In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four-and-twenty hours.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“My mind is just as open as it ever was, professor. But it’s a scientific mind, and there’s no place in it for superstitions.”
—Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
“When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.”
