do I have to do everything myself dot com?

this guy was smart. here’s some stuff he’s supposed to have said:

“It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed.”

“I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious.”

“To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.”

“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”

“As far as I’m concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.”

”If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.”

“If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn’t be called research.”

“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

“I’m thankful to those who said NO. Because of them, I did it myself.”
