It takes a long time for a man to look like his portrait.
James McNeill Whistler

I find that a paradigm shift takes place in two ways. First, for all scientists to start working on the new paradigm like happened with Newtonian physics, it takes a long time. But there is another way where a group of people hang onto a model that they are all happy with and they are all finding new problems to work on within that model. For me that model has been that consciousness is the ground of being and now, lots of people are accepting that model. This is a great achievement. This change has happened in less than three generations. That's a tremendous achievement. Old paradigmers, like some of my colleagues from the U of O physics department, will take a long time to change.

A great portrait is always more a portrait of the painter than of the painted.
Samuel (novelist Butler
Only it takes time to be happy. A lot of time. Happiness, too, is a long patience.
Albert Camus
Debunking bad science should be constant obligation of the science community, even if it takes time away from serious research or seems to be a losing battle. One takes comfort from the fact there is no Gresham's laws in science. In the long run, good science drives out bad.
Martin Gardner
It takes a long time for the gleam in the eye to turn into something solid.
