"I invented nothing new. I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind whom were centuries of work. Had I worked fifty or ten or even five years before, I would have failed.

To teach that a comparatively few men are responsible for the greatest forward steps of mankind is the worst sort of nonsense."
