One of my all-time favorite .sig lines is:
``If I have not seen as farther as other men, it is
because midgets
are standing on my shoulders.''
I would love to know where this came from.
Don't know, but it reminds me of an application of Niels Bohr's famous quote: (in German)
"Das Gegenteil einer richtigen Behauptung ist eine falsche Behauptung, aber das Gegenteil einer tiefen Wahrheit kann wieder eine tiefe Wahrheit sein."
"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement, but the opposite of a deep truth can again be a deep truth."
