If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on
the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton
In the sciences, we are now uniquely privileged to sit side by side
with the giants on whose shoulders we stand. -- Gerald Holton
If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were
standing on my shoulders. -- Hal Abelson
In computer science, we stand on each other's feet. -- Brian K. Reid
