“I really
wanted to do research. That has never changed.”
“I’m
forming a charitable institution for education.”
“We learned
the value of research in World War II.”
“All
military and most commercial aircraft use our designs that process power from
jet engines.”
“Research
in this country is going down.”
“At 13, I
realized that I could fix anything electronic. It was amazing, I could just do
it. I started a business repairing radios. It grew to be one of the largest in
Philadelphia.”
“I loved
music, and in my ninth year at MIT, I decided to buy a hi-fi set. I figured
that all I needed to do was look at the specifications. So I bought what looked
like the best one, turned it on, and turned it off in five minutes, the sound
was so poor.”
“The
prejudice was so bad in the United States at that time that a dark person with
a white person would not be served in a restaurant. My father, mother, and I
would try it occasionally. We would sit there, and the food would never come.”
