Claude Bernard

It is what we know already that often prevents us from learning.

Observation is a passive science, experimentation an active science.

The true worth of an experimenter consists in his pursuing not only what he seeks in his experiment, but also what he did not seek.

I'm sort of an experimenter; I thought it'd be interesting to play around and see what's there.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.
