More From Thomas A. Edison

It's as if scientists exert every effort of will they possess deliberately to find the least significant problems in the world and explain them. art matters. happiness matters. love matters. good matters. evil matters. slam the fridge door. they are the only things that matter and they are of course precisely the things that science goes out of its way to ignore.
