The two apparently dissimilar approaches were proved to be mathematically equivalent. - Richard P. Feynman

13. The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing - that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world - is what I wish for all. - Fidel Castro

21. It now appears that the way the universe began can indeed be determined, using imaginary time. - Stephen Hawking
