 "It is probably true quite generally that in the history of human thinking 
 the most fruitful developments frequently take place at those points where 
 two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in quite 
 different parts of human culture, in different times or different cultural 
 environments or different religious traditions: hence if they actually meet, 
 that is, if they are at least so much related to each other that a real 
 interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting 
 developments may follow."

quote from Werner Heisenberg - Fruitful Developments Where Thought Meet

<blockquote>

 "Hackers believe that essential lessons can be learned about the systems—about 
 the world—from taking things apart, seeing how they work, and using this 
 knowledge to create new and more interesting things."
