Four quotes by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1 July 1742 - 24 February 1799) was a German scientist, satirist and Anglophile. As a scientist, he was the first to hold a professorship explicitly dedicated to experimental physics in Germany. Today, he is remembered for his posthumous notebooks, which he himself called Sudelbuecher, a description modeled on the English bookkeeping term 'waste books', and for his discovery of the strange treelike patterns now called Lichtenberg figures.
