Terry Pratchett

Charles Darwin

Albert Einstein

C.S. Lewis
"Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose."
J.B.S. Haldane
"Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?"
Stephen Hawking
