Can a fish really climb a tree,
Is truth the daughter of time?
The way of progress neither swift nor easy,
More than mortal that brain of mine?
Ghostly errors of measurement,
Even touching the ghost of matter,
Do infinite spaces dread.

Which thinker to which line?
Too difficult?
I think Theodor Geisel himself summed them all up.

Only if it’s lost it’s bicycle?
No, but necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows.
That’s racist said the tortoise to the hare, but it’s the way to bet.
Artificial ignorance?
By the ghost in the machine?

Integer overflow? I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave.
OK, this is what I have but it still doesn’t say who they are:

The way of progress neither swift nor easy, [MC]
More than mortal that brain of mine? [AL]
Ghostly errors of measurement, [EH]

Albert Einstein
Aulus Gellius (no idea who ‘JK’ was/is/might become)
Marie Curie
Ada Lovelace
Edwin Hubble
Google has no idea about “even touching the ghost of matter”
Blaise Pascal.
(I guessed AE,MC and AL right, the rest I googled)
