Quotes About Fail

So you think that you're a failure, do you? Well, you probably are. What's wrong with that?

We went to the moon using just Newton's laws of motion and gravity. Newtonian dynamics we call it. So then we find out, "Well, this works because there's certain regimes we've never tested it in."

Those would be his special theory of relativity and general theory of relativity. Now you invoke those and it works.
