Famous quotes containing the words prominent, experimental and/or physicists:

    “The vain man does not wish so much to be prominent as to feel himself prominent; he therefore disdains none of the expedients for self-deception and self-outwitting. It is not the opinion of others that he sets his heart on, but his opinion of their opinion.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Whenever a man acts purposively, he acts under a belief in some experimental phenomenon. Consequently, the sum of the experimental phenomena that a proposition implies makes up its entire bearing upon human conduct.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “We must be physicists in order ... to be creative since so far codes of values and ideals have been constructed in ignorance of physics or even in contradiction to physics.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
