Mike Fuller Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 'In departing the one who travels suffers less than the one who stays behind.' Lord Byron ( 1788 - 1824 ) 'Now there is one very important fact regarding spaceship Earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it!' Richard B. Fuller ( 1895 - 1983 ) 'The essence of science, ask an impertinent question and you are on your way to a pertinent answer.' From 'The Ascent Of Man' ( 1973 ) J Bronowski ( 1908 - 1974 ) 'It is not the fact that man does science that makes him unique, and it is not the fact that man does art that makes him unique, but equally that science and art are both wonderful expressions of man's marvellous plasticity of mind.' From 'The Ascent Of Man' J Bronowski ( 1908 - 1974 ) 'The pursuit of the good and evil is now linked to astronomy as in almost every other area of science. The fate of our human civilization will depend on whether the rockets of the future carry on them a telescope or a hydrogen bomb!' Bernard Lovell ( 1913 - 2012 ) 'We are the result of what hydrogen atoms do given 13.7 billion years of evolution' Carl Sagan ( 1934 - 1996 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imatfaal Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 ... I am not convinced of the utility of these sorts of posts - but it is the Lounge; but please try and get the quotes correct! In your second post: one quote is just wrong, another has a punctuation error (and poets spend months getting the punctuation just so) and a third has a spelling mistake - those are from a cursory glance, there may be more.

Mike Fuller Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 I am not convinced of the utility of these sorts of posts - but it is the Lounge; but please try and get the quotes correct! In your second post: one quote is just wrong, another has a punctuation error (and poets spend months getting the punctuation just so) and a third has a spelling mistake - those are from a cursory glance, there may be more. Why don't you being a supposedly far more intelligent person, grow up! and have at least a basic level of charity and tolerance for someone with learning difficulties like me! I failed all my GCE's at school, my highest grade being a GCE D in English Literature, I failed GCE English with a D from Collage when I was 24, too! I have had my I.Q. tested by a member of staff at a training scheme to be an average 104. So I am not a boffin at science like you! I have come on the this 'Science Forum' site to have fun and enjoy people's far more able minds than myself! Mike Fuller I am NOT a Poet! I am NOT a Writer! I am NOT an Artist! I am NOT a Mathematician! I am NOT a Physicist! I am NOT an Intellectual! I am NOT a Bibliophile! I am Quite Knowledgeable though. SORRY! If I seem stern with you! With Best Wishes!!!
