Harold Eugene Edgerton quotes:

When I was a boy, I read with great interest but skepticism about as magic lamp which was used with success by a certain Aladdin. Today I have no skepticism whatsoever about the magic of the xenon flash lamp which we use so effectively for many purposes. (1970)

If you don't wake up at three in the morning and want to do something, you're wasting your time.

The trick to education is to teach people in such a way that they don't realize they're learning until it's too late.

We worked and worked, didn't get anywhere. That's how you know you're doing research.

Work like hell, tell everyone everything you know, close a deal with a handshake, and have fun.

Don't make me out to be an artist. I am an engineer. I am after the facts, only the facts.

In many ways, unexpected results are what have most inspired my photography.

That's the nature of research you don't know what in hell you're doing.
