“The darkness of the world is but a shadow, but there is light that causes the shadow.”
John Hudson Tiner, Isaac Newton: Inventor, Scientist, and Teacher

“During the eighteen months that followed Halley's visit, Isaac worked day and night on the book. He didn't mind the sacrifice. A living, growing thing took shape before his eyes. Never mind that he ate irregularly. Never mind if he kept at it eighteen hours a day. The book would be worth all the effort.”
John Hudson Tiner, Isaac Newton: Inventor, Scientist, and Teacher
tags: effort

“Isaac looked for a grand patter to the Universe. He spent long periods lost in thought. Then suddenly he dashed off several pages without pausing.”
John Hudson Tiner, Isaac Newton: Inventor, Scientist, and Teacher
