Famous quotes containing the words inventors and/or scientists:

    “They will call you the annihilators of morals: but you are simply the inventors of yourselves.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Next week Reagan will probably announce that American scientists have discovered that the entire U.S. agricultural surplus can be compacted into a giant tomato one thousand miles across, which will be suspended above the Kremlin from a cluster of U.S. satellites flying in geosynchronous orbit. At the first sign of trouble the satellites will drop the tomato on the Kremlin, drowning the fractious Muscovites in ketchup.”
    —Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)
