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
