“It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.”
Stephen Hawking
“Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.”
Stephen Hawking

Horace
“The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.”
Horace

Karl Marx
“We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.”
Karl Marx
“The product of mental labor - science - always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.”
Karl Marx
“Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.”

Aristotle
“Friends show their love in times of trouble.”
Euripides
“Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor.”
Euripides
“One does nothing who tries to console a despondent person with word. A friend is one who aids with deeds at a critical time when deeds are called for.”
Euripides

Stendhal
“To be loved at first sight, a man should have at the same time something to respect and something to pity in his face.”
Stendhal

Honore de Balzac
“First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.”
Honore de Balzac
