Kurt VonnegutBut if you – if what – the reports are true, what they’re saying is, is that as a consequence of us getting 30 million additional people health care, at the margins that’s going to increase our costs, we knew that.

David ByrneTo raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.

Lucius Annaeus SenecaI used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.
Stephen HawkingScience can lift people out of poverty and cure disease. That, in turn, will reduce civil unrest.
