Everything great in science and art is simple. What can be less complicated than the greatest discoveries of humanity - gravitation, the compass, the printing press, the steam engine, the electric telegraph?
It is interesting to note how many of the great scientific discoveries begin as myths.
All great scientists have, in a certain sense, been great artists; the man with no imagination may collect facts, but he cannot make great discoveries.
I believe that she has the kind of magic that causes revolutions and promotes great discoveries. There’s nothing I enjoy more than to observe Gabriela in the midst of a group of people. Do you know what she reminds me of? A fragrant rose in a bouquet of artificial flowers.
The seeds of great discoveries are constantly floating around us, but they only take root in minds well-prepared to receive them.
The great discoveries are usually obvious.
It is remarkable that when great discoveries are effected, their simplicity always seems to detract from their originality: on these occasions we are reminded of the egg of Columbus!
All great discoveries are made by men whose feelings run ahead of their thinking.
I only tweet if I discover something that's fantastic, or if I heard something really great.
