Johnny Ball
It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him. Jean Rostand
The combined results of several people working together is often much more effective than could be that of an individual scientist working alone. John Bardeen
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. Arthur C. Clarke
