Quotation[0] = "'I believe there is no philosophical high-road in science, " +
                "with epistemological signposts.<BR>" +
				"No, we are in a jungle and find our way by trial and error, " +
				"building our road behind us as we proceed.'<BR>" +
				"(Max Born, 1882-1970)";
				
Quotation[1] = "'The adventure of our science of physics is a perpetual "  +
			   "attempt to recognize that the different aspects of nature " +
			   "are really different aspects of the same thing.'<BR>" +
			   "(Richard Feynman, 1918-1988)";
Quotation[2] = "'The task is, not so much to see what no one has yet " +
               "seen; but to think what nobody has yet thought, about " +
			   "that which everybody sees.' <BR>" +
			   "(Erwin Schrödinger, 1887-1961)";
Quotation[3] = "'While the scientist has the specialized knowledge of " +
               "his discipline, on other subjects he is pretty much prey " +
			   "to the same dark forces as is anybody else. His training " +
			   "and education may help him to overcome some of his " +
			   "irrational urges, but the idea that the objective, cool " +
			   "scientist is above the crowd is fallacious. This should "  +
			   "be recognized by the scientists and by the public at large. " +
			   "Scientists are not priests of a magic religion.'<BR>" +
			   "(Emilio Gino Segrè, 1905-1989)";
Quotation[4] = "'Every sentence I utter must be understood not as an " +
               "affirmation but as a question.'<BR>" +
			   "(Niels Bohr, 1885-1962)"; 
Quotation[5] = "'The life of a great scientist in his laboratory is not, " +
               "as many may think, a peaceful idyll. More often, it is a " +
			   "bitter battle with things, with one's surroundings, and " +
			   "above all with oneself. A great discovery does not leap " +
			   "completely achieved from the brain of the scientist, " +
			   "as Minerva sprang, all panoplied, from the head of Jupiter; " +
			   "it is the fruit of accumulated preliminary work.'<BR>" +
			   "(Marie Curie, 1867-1934)";
Quotation[6] = "'It is quite clear that beauty does depend on one's culture " +
               "and upbringing for certain kinds of beauty, pictures, literature, " +
			   "poetry and so on...But mathematical beauty is of a rather " +
			   "different kind. I should say perhaps it is of a completely " +
			   "different kind and transcends these personal factors. It is the " +
			   "same in all countries and at all periods of time.'<BR>" +
			   "(Paul Dirac, 1902-1984)" 
Quotation[7] = "'It is also a good rule not to put overmuch confidence in the " +
               "observational results that are put forward until they are confirmed " +
			   "by theory.'<BR>" +
			   "(Arthur Stanley Eddington, 1882-1944)";
Quotation[8] = "'Imagination is more important than knowledge.'<BR>" +
               "(Albert Einstein, 1879-1955)";
Quotation[9] = "'The world little knows how many of the thoughts and theories which " +
               "have passed through the mind of the scientific investigator have been " +
			   "crushed in silence and secrecy by his own severe criticism and " +
			   "adverse examination; that in the most successful instances not a tenth " +
			   "of the suggestions, the hopes, the wishes, the preliminary conclusions " +
			   "have been realized.'<BR>" +
			   "(Michael Faraday, 1791-1867)";
Quotation[10] = "'Whatever nature has in store for mankind, unpleasant as it may be, " +
                "men must accept, for ignorance is never better than knowledge.'<BR>" +
				"(Enrico Fermi, 1901-1954)";
Quotation[11] = "'Natural Science does not simply describe and explain nature; " +
                "it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves; it describes " +
				"nature as exposed to our method of questioning.'<BR>" +
				"(Werner Heisenberg, 1901-1976)";
Quotation[12] = "'It is impossible to make a clear cut between science, religion, and art. " +
                "The whole is never equal simply to the sum of its various parts.'<BR>" +
				"(Max Planck, 1858-1947)"; 
Quotation[13] = "As professor at Cambridge, Thomson helped introduce laboratory " +
                "demonstration work to the curriculum, which had been strictly mathematical. " +
				"\"We found many cases,\" he recalled, \"where men could solve the " +
				"most complicated problems about lenses, yet when given a lens and asked " +
				"to find the image of a candle flame, would not know on which side of the " +
				"lens to look for the image. But perhaps the most interesting point was their " +
				"intense surprise when any mathematical formula gave the right result.\" <BR>" +
				"(From Thomson's Recollections and Reflections)";
Quotation[14] = "'La ragione umana ha questo peculiare destino in un genere delle sue " +
                "conoscenze:che essa viene afflitta da domande che non può respingere, " +
				"perché le sono assegnate dalla natura della ragione stessa,e a cui però " +
				"non può neanche dare risposta,perché esse superano ogni capacità " +
				"della ragione umana.'<BR>" +
				"(Immanuel Kant, \"Critica della Ragione Pura\", A VII)";
Quotation[15] = "'I often say that when " +
                "you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, " +
				"you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot " +
				"express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory " +
				"kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your " +
				"thoughts advanced to the state of Science, whatever the matter may be.'<BR>" +
				"(1883 - Lord Kelvin, 1824-1907)";
