Attempting The "Impossible"

"We really haven't got any great amount of data on the subject, and without data how can we reach any definite conclusions?"

-Thomas Edison

"When a man said, 'It can’t be done; a man might as well try to fly,' he was understood as expressing the final limit of impossibility."

-Wilbur Wright

"I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research."

-Albert Einstein

"It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."

-Charles Darwin

"I know that many will call this useless work."

-Leonardo da Vinci

Attempting the impossible? You're in good company.
