Fabulous Quotes, Part I

"Materials which have extremely high strength also tend to have very low toughness. They're brittle and they fail catastrophically. What you want is a material that has high toughness and takes a lot of energy to fail. All these people who are pouring their time and effort into researching super high strength materials are just shooting themselves in the head!"
- Professor R. O. Ritchie

"How many instruments are playing in this piece? Four? Five? Your ears are not trained... Probably because you listen to crap music."
- Professor F. Borrelli
