"In my experience, a strong Heterodyne will take about two hours to truly warp the laws of Nature."
― Carson von Mekkahn (Girl Genius)
"...When things are put into conjunction in a way never before seen... yes... that is when one can truly glimpse the mechanics of the universe! The results of logic? - of 'natural progression?' Boring! An 'expected result?' Dull! An 'obvious next step?' Pfui! Where's the fun in that?! We want to see the unexpected! The strange and terrible! A dream merely soothes - but our nightmares make us run! Behold!"
― Agatha Heterodyne, tinkering with the contents of somebody's basement. (Girl Genius)
"Sometimes science is more art than science."
― Rick Sanchez to his grandson, Morty Smith (Rick & Morty)
"Now becomes the the past in an instant - and everyone will eventually die! Destiny triumphs over human knowledge and goes mad! That is the way of things! I spit upon this frail, crazed, world! I spit upon the Second Law of Thermodynamics!"
― Professor Desty Nova (Gunnm)
"You know, lab tests, weird lights, Shots from the can's point of view. Yeah, that's it. Lots of flash and no meaning."
