On the cover:
איני יודע מה אני בעיני העולם, אך בעיני עצמי לא הייתי כי אם ילד המשחק על שפת הים, משתעשע, פה ושם, בגילוי חלוק אבן או קונכיה יפה מן הרגיל, בעוד אוקינוס האמת הגדול והסתום נח מופלא ממני לרגלי.
(איזיק ניוטון, 1727. מאנגלית רנה ליטוין)

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
(Issac Newton, 1727)

Comments:
The tiles in Entin Square, which is located at the entrance to Tel Aviv University, include covertions and comments by scientists and other intellectuals.

The quote appears on Memoirs of the Life, Writings, and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton (1855) by Sir David Brewster

Three months earlier, the tiles were photographed in the same square. During the photograph, it was discovered that a number of tiles had been removed and replaced by other tiles . In this tile the design is different, see the other tile Click for cover's details
