Carl Honore

#30. We can't all be Einstein (because we don't all play the violin). At the very least, we need a sort of street-smart science: the ability to recognize evidence, gather it, assess it, and act on it.

Judith Stone

#31. We are all made of flesh, of matter. And at the end, this matter is dissolved in light, and transformed into energy. It's the Einstein formula. Energy is nothing but matter that is moving at the speed of light, squared
