“Raphael paints wisdom, Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakespeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“It is useless not to seek, not to want, for when you cease to seek you start to find, and when you cease to want, then life begins to ram her fish and chips down your gullet until you puke, and then the puke down your gullet until you puke the puke, and then the puked puke until you begin to like it.”
― Samuel Beckett, Watt

“Is it possible that the Pentateuch could not have been written by uninspired men? that the assistance of God was necessary to produce these books? Is it possible that Galilei ascertained the mechanical principles of 'Virtual Velocity,' the laws of falling bodies and of all motion; that Copernicus ascertained the true position of the earth and accounted for all celestial phenomena; that Kepler discovered his three laws鈥攄iscoveries of such importance that the 8th of May, 1618, may be called the birth-day of modern science; that Newton gave to the world the Method of Fluxions, the Theory of Universal Gravitation, and the Decomposition of Light; that Euclid, Cavalieri, Descartes, and Leibniz, almost completed the science of mathematics; that all the discoveries in optics, hydrostatics, pneumatics and chemistry, the experiments, discoveries, and inventions of Galvani, Volta, Franklin and Morse, of Trevithick, Watt and Fulton and of all the pioneers of progress鈥攖hat all this was accomplished by uninspired men, while the writer of the Pentateuch was directed and inspired by an infinite God? Is it possible that the codes of China, India, Egypt, Greece and Rome were made by man, and that the laws recorded in the Pentateuch were alone given by God? Is it possible that 脝蝉肠丑测濒耻蝉 and Shakespeare, Burns, and Beranger, Goethe and Schiller, and all the poets of the world, and all their wondrous tragedies and songs are but the work of men, while no intelligence except the infinite God could be the author of the Pentateuch? Is it possible that of all the books that crowd the libraries of the world, the books of science, fiction, history and song, that all save only one, have been produced by man? Is it possible that of all these, the bible only is the work of God?”

“True greatness is when your name is like ampere, watt, and fourier鈥攚hen it's spelled with a lower case letter.”
― Richard Hamming

“For the birth of something new, there has to be a happening. Newton saw an apple fall; James Watt watched a kettle boil; Rontgen fogged some photographic plates. And these people knew enough to translate ordinary happenings into something new...”
― Alexander Fleming

“I have been branded with folly and madness for attempting what the world calls impossibilities, and even from the great engineer, the late James Watt, who said ... that I deserved hanging for bringing into use the high-pressure engine. This has so far been my reward from the public; but should this be all, I shall be satisfied by the great secret pleasure and laudable pride that I feel in my own breast from having been the instrument of bringing forward new principles and new arrangements of boundless value to my country, and however much I may be straitened in pecuniary circumstances, the great honour of being a useful subject can never be taken from me, which far exceeds riches.”
― Richard Trevithick, Life of Richard Trevithick 2 Volume Set: With an Account of his Inventions

“I don't think I recognize you, sir, said Camier.
I am Watt, said Watt. As you say, I'm unrecognizable.
Watt? said Camier. The name means nothing to me.
I am not widely know, said Watt, true, but I shall be, one day. Not universally, perhaps, my notoriety is not likely ever to penetrate to the denizens of Dublin's fair city, or of Cuq-Toulza.”
― Samuel Beckett, Mercier and Camier

“B眉t眉n bu 艧eyler, baz谋 艧eylerin hi莽bir anlam ta艧谋mamay谋 s眉rd眉rd眉kleri gibi hi莽bir anlam ta艧谋masalar yani sonuna dek anlams谋zl谋kta direnseler, asla s枚z edilemezdi bunlardan. 脟眉nk眉 hi莽ten s枚z etmenin tek yolu ondan sanki bir 艧eymi艧莽esine s枚z etmektir.”
― Samuel Beckett, Watt

“Good luck in there," he called out, but Avery was already a world away.”

“Daha 莽ok uluma diye nitelendirebileceklerimi bir yana b谋rak谋rsam bence 眉莽 t眉r 驳眉濒眉艧眉n 眉zerinde durmaya de臒er; yani ac谋, zorlama ve ne艧esiz olanlar谋n 眉zerinde. Bu 驳眉濒眉艧leri -nas谋l s枚ylesem?- usumuzda art arda olu艧an s谋yr谋klara, 莽iziklere benzetebiliriz. Birinden 枚tekine ge莽i艧i de azdan 莽o臒a, al莽aktan y眉kse臒e, d谋艧tan i莽e, kabadan inceye, 枚zdekten bi莽ime ge莽i艧e. Bug眉nk眉 ne艧esiz 驳眉濒眉艧 bir zamanlar zorlamayd谋, bug眉nk眉 zorlama 驳眉濒眉艧 bir zamanlar ac谋yd谋. Ya bug眉nk眉 ac谋 驳眉濒眉艧 bir zamanlar neydi? G枚zya艧lar谋yd谋 Bay Watt, g枚zya艧lar谋yd谋.”

“Ama tuhaf de臒il mi, bir 艧eye tamamen dolu olmad谋臒谋nda dolu denirken, bu 艧ey 产辞艧 de臒ilken 产辞艧 denmemesi 莽ok tuhaf de臒il mi?”

“Watt'谋n ba艧ka bir ko臒u艧a verilmesinden sonra yeniden 办补谤艧谋濒补艧尘补m谋za kadar belli bir s眉re ge莽ti. Her zamanki gibi, yani sevdi臒im havan谋n 莽a臒r谋s谋na uydu臒um zamanlardaki gibi bah莽emde dola艧谋yordum. Watt da benzer bi莽imde kendi bah莽esinde dola艧谋yordu. Ama art谋k ayn谋 bah莽e s枚z konusu olmad谋臒谋 i莽in kar艧谋la艧am谋yorduk. Bu yeni 办补谤艧谋濒补艧尘补, sonunda ileride betimlenece臒i gibi ger莽ekle艧ti臒inde, her ikimiz de; Watt da ben de bunu arzulasak, 莽ok daha 枚nce kar艧谋la艧abilece臒imizi anlad谋k. Ama i艧te bizde eksik olan 办补谤艧谋濒补艧尘补 arzusuydu. Watt benimle 办补谤艧谋濒补艧尘补k istemiyordu, ben de Watt ile 办补谤艧谋濒补艧尘补k istemiyordum. Ger莽ekten de birbirimizle bir araya gelmek, yeniden dola艧mak ve laflamak d眉艧眉ncesi d眉艧manca gelmiyordu bize, hay谋r, ilgisi yok, yaln谋zca Watt da ben de buna istekli de臒ildik.”

“Watt'谋n zemin kattaki ya艧ant谋s谋n谋n sonlar谋na do臒ru bir g眉n telefon 莽ald谋 ve bir ses Bay Knott'un sa臒l谋臒谋n谋n nas谋l oldu臒unu sordu. Ku艧kusuz biri dalga ge莽iyordu. Ses bundan ba艧ka, Bir dost, dedi. 陌nce bir erkek sesi ya da kal谋n bir kad谋n sesiydi.
Watt bu olay谋 a艧a臒谋daki gibi yorumlad谋:
Cinsiyeti belirsiz bir dostu Bay Knott'un sa臒l谋n谋 枚臒renmek i莽in telefonla arad谋.
Bu yorum 莽ok ge莽meden tutars谋z bir hal ald谋.
Ama Watt'谋n bunu tutarl谋l谋臒a ula艧t谋racak g眉c眉 kalmam谋艧t谋. Watt'谋n kendini daha fazla yormaya cesareti yoktu.
Ka莽 kez meydan okumu艧tu, kendini 艧u daha fazla yorma tehlikesine. Meydan okuyorum, demi艧ti, meydan okuyorum ve tutarl谋l谋臒a kavu艧turma 莽abalar谋na girmi艧ti. Ama 艧imdi yapam谋yordu art谋k.
Watt art谋k yorulmu艧tu zemin katta, zemin kat Watt'谋 iyice yormu艧tu.
Ne 枚臒renmi艧ti? Hi莽!
Bay Knott hakk谋nda ne biliyordu? Hi莽!
Geli艧mek kayg谋s谋ndan, 枚臒renmek kayg谋s谋ndan, iyile艧mek kayg谋s谋ndan geriye ne kalm谋艧t谋? Hi莽!
Ama bu da bir 艧ey say谋lmaz m谋yd谋?
O zaman kendini 枚ylesine k眉莽眉lm眉艧, 枚ylesine umutsuz g枚r眉yordu. Ya 艧imdi? Daha k眉莽眉lm眉艧, daha umutsuz. Bu da bir 艧ey say谋lmaz m谋yd谋?
脰ylesine sayr谋l谋, 枚ylesine yaln谋z.
Ya 艧imdi?
Daha sayr谋l谋, daha yaln谋z.
Bu da bir 艧ey say谋lmaz m谋yd谋?
Fazlal谋k bir 艧ey say谋ld谋臒谋na g枚re. Olumluluk a莽谋s谋ndan az olsun, 莽ok olsun. En 眉st眉n olma a莽谋s谋ndan az olsun, 莽ok olsun.”

“Ama anlama duyulan bu ilgisizlik i莽inde bu anlam 补谤补测谋艧谋 da ne oluyordu?”
