Crystallographers believed in X-ray results, which are of course very accurate.

Dan Shechtman

Laughter is born out of the discovery of the contradictory.
Alfred Jarry
-
Truly the gods have not from the beginning revealed all things to mortals, but by long seeking, mortals discover what is better.

Exploring is an innate part of being human. We're all explorers when we're born. Unfortunately, it seems to get drummed out of many of us as we get older, but it's there, I think, in all of us.

The history of scientific and technical discovery teaches us that the human race is poor in independent and creative imagination.
