“When I meet God, I am going to ask him two questions: Why relativity? And why turbulence? I really believe he will have an answer for the first.” — Werner Heisenberg

“I am an old man now, and when I die and go to heaven there are two matters on which I hope for enlightenment. One is quantum electrodynamics, and the other is the turbulent motion of fluids. And about the former I am rather optimistic.” — Horace Lamb (a noted publisher on Hydrodynamics)

Big whirls have little whirls
That feed on their velocity
And little whirls have lesser whirls
And so on to viscosity.
― Lewis Fry Richardson
