Albert Einstein

Everything he achieved was the result of persistent trials and experiments often performed at random but always attesting extraordinary vigor and resource.

His mind was dominated by one idea, to leave no stone unturned, to exhaust every possibility.

We do the best we can," she said softly, looking inward. "And punish ourselves for it. I've tried to make my choices with the idea that I've made those choices for the greatest good.
