Murray Gell-Mann Quote

If I have seen further than others, it is because I am surrounded by dwarfs.


As quoted in "Wilson vs Watson: The blessing of great enemies" by Amanda Gefter in New Scientist (10 September 2009); this is a play upon the famous statement by Isaac Newton: "If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants."


If I have seen further than others, it is because I am surrounded by dwarfs.

If I have seen further than others, it is because I am surrounded by dwarfs.

If I have seen further than others, it is because I am surrounded by dwarfs.

If I have seen further than others, it is because I am surrounded by dwarfs.
