Without that man, most of us probably wouldn't be here, and the rest would be living in a very different world indeed.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

We all owe him a gigantic debt. There should be statues of him across the world.

Wow, we owe him a lot. There are a lot of people on both sides that would have jumped at the opportunity. Thankfully he wasn't one.

I'd legit donate to the funding of one for him.
