For those who work with development, creativity and innovation projects, nothing better than quotes! They boost like coffee!
All those quotes I collected throughout my master. Feel free to submit other quotes!
‘Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.’ Carl Sagan.
This was my master’s thesis epigraph! For me this phrase represents the constant desire for the truth and information. Also, it represents the source of the tireless efforts and inspiration for researching, learning and studying. Which leads us to discover something amazing. I think it is extremely captivating. I haven’t found such a short and catchier phrase to use at my PhD thesis yet (Please, I accept suggestions!).
‘The mind that opens up to a new idea never returns to its original size.’ Albert Einstein.
This was my undergratuation final project epigraph! I also recommend looking for other quotes of Albert Einstein.

Engineering moves the world, I have said!

Even more in electrical engineering!
‘An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.’ Niels Bohr.
As some of my teachers used to say: ‘If you came to an easy conclusion, you probably got it wrong!’.

Remember to always make sure to reference and cite your sources!

This is a way of understanding science. It is the search for the truth. And what is understood as truth today may not be understood as truth tomorrow.
