Quotes from the past

It's late. I had a decent performance at poker night making the final table but didn't finish in the money. And no one has helped me out with a list of questions they needed answered. So, I'm going to provide a quote list. This one goes back to college. Every day in class I would start my notes with a random quote. Here is the actual compilation of quotes from ECE 364 (Power Electronics for those of you scoring at home). Ten bucks if you can name the source for all of them.

EC - I would have asked you John Cusack's classic question from The Sure Thing - "Who invented liquid soap and why?" - but I've already researched the answer to that long ago.
