Quote by Carlo Rubbia
"I learned that patience in research is not passive waiting, but active preparation for discovery."
More from Carlo Rubbia
"Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge."
"The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy."
"Physics is really nothing more than a search for ultimate simplicity, but so far all we have is a kind of elegant messiness."
"In physics, you don't have to go around making trouble for yourself—nature does it for you."
