If you would stick to the concrete, and put your discoveries in the form of entertaining anecdotes about your adventures with women, your conversation would be easier to follow.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
Taken as a story of human achievement, and human blindness, the discoveries in the sciences are among the great epics.
J. Robert Oppenheimer
Image
Mathematical discoveries, small or great are never born of spontaneous generation They always presuppose a soil seeded with preliminary knowledge and well prepared by labour, both conscious and subconscious.
Henri Poincare
Image
Most technological advances in our life now come from serendipitous discoveries. That is a contraction of rocket technology and computer technology and atomic clock technology.
Serge Haroche
Image
Mathematical discoveries, like springtime violets in the woods, have their season which no human can hasten or retard.
Carl Friedrich Gauss
Image
Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
Serendipitous discoveries are made by chance, found without looking for them but possible only through a sharp vision and sagacity, ready to see the unexpected and never indulgent with the apparently unexplainable.
Horace Walpole
Image
Discoveries cannot be planned, they pop up, like Puck, in unexpected corners
Max Perutz
Image
Socrates said, our only knowledge was To know that nothing could be known a pleasant Science enough, which levels to an ass Each Man of Wisdom, future, past, or present. Newton, (that Proverb of the Mind,) alas! Declared, with all his grand discoveries recent, That he himself felt only like a youth Picking up shells by the great Ocean-Truth.
Lord Byron
Image
Our real discoveries come from chaos, from going to the place that looks wrong and stupid and foolish.
Chuck Palahniuk
Image
Genius consists not in making great discoveries, but in seeing the connection between small discoveries.
Walker Percy
Image
Attention makes the genius all learning, fancy, science and skills depend upon it. Newton traced his discoveries to it. It builds bridges, opens new worlds, heals diseases, carries on the business of the world. Without it taste is useless, and the beauties of literature unobserved.
Robert Aris Willmott
Image
One of the most important discoveries I made in those early years was that to succeed at natural farming, you have to get rid of your expectations. Such products of the mind are often incorrect or unrealistic . . . and can lead you to think you've made a mistake if they're not met.
Masanobu Fukuoka
Image
Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come . . . . Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The history of the Bible text is a romance of literature, though it is a romance of which the consequences are of vital import and thanks to the succession of discoveries which have been made of late years, we know more about it than of the history of any other ancient book in the world.
Frederic G. Kenyon
Image
But I know also that still more interesting discoveries will be made that I have not the imagination to describe - and I am awaiting them, full of curiosity and enthusiasm.
Linus Pauling
Image
After a certain age our memories are so intertwined with one another that what we are thinking of, the book we are reading, scarcely matters any more. We have put something of ourselves everywhere, everything is fertile, everything is dangerous, and we can make discoveries no less precious than in Pascal's Pensées in an advertisement for soap.
Marcel Proust
Image
Most discoveries even today are a combination of serendipity and of searching.
Siddhartha Mukherjee
Image
Cubism did not accept the logical consequences of its own discoveries it was not developing abstraction towards its own goal, the expression of pure reality.
Piet Mondrian
Image
It is almost possible to say that there is a mathematical relationship between the beauty of his surroundings and the activity of the child he will make discoveries rather more voluntarily in a gracious setting than in an ugly one.
Maria Montessori
Image
The 19th century was the great period of engineering, thanks to the railways, thanks to lots of discoveries in metallurgy.
Joe Harris
Image
There is nothing for it but for all of us to invent our own ideal libraries of classics. I would say that such a library ought to be composed half of books we have read and that have really counted for us, and half of books we propose to read and presume will come to count—leaving a section of empty shelves for surprises and occasional discoveries
Italo Calvino
Image
It seems that boredom is one of the greatest discoveries of our time. If so, there's no question but that he must be considered a pioneer.
Luchino Visconti
