Summary
Quotations from famous individuals such as Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and Charles Darwin occasionally appear on one of the opening pages before the text itself. However, what these people said seems to have less to do with the content of the thesis than to express more general views of research work, like the following popular one:
Everything should be as simple as it can be, yet no simpler.
– Albert EinsteinI have only found one citation that illustrated the essence of the actual findings, formulated by the graduate student himself (Adad Baranto, 2005).
Too much or too little physical activity is equally harmful to the spine.
– Adad BarantoTry to avoid citing someone, unless the quotation is exactly to the point with respect to your subject.
