‘What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean.’ -Isaac Newton

Notes

‘I think one of the motives of science is to leave some kind of memorial behind oneself. And people can do that in a variety of ways. They can make discoveries and be remembered for that. But there is also a modest role a scientist can play, and that is to assemble information and material which, in long run, will be helpful to others. […] The idea that one’s scientific life has to be motivated by the off-chance that one may make great discovery, and be remembered for that was too risky, too much of a gamble. I preferred the more modest approach.’ -S. Chandrasekhar
