Before They Changed the World ~ Edwin Kiester, Jr.

"I didn't vote for Buchanan, because I didn't know him, and I didn't vote for Frémont because I did." ~ Ulysses S. Grant
Before They Changed the World (Ch. 11: "Ulysses S. Grant")

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead." ~ Albert Einstein
(Ch. 16: "Albert Einstein")

"The nonmathematician is seized by a mysterious shuddering when he hears of 'four-dimensional things,' by a feeling not unlike that awakened by thoughts of the occult. And yet there is no more common-place statement than that the world in which we live is a four-dimensional space-time continuum." ~ Albert Einstein
(Ch. 16: "Albert Einstein")
