Ceux qui réfléchissent

La vision de ceux qui réfléchissent // The vision of those who think

Today’s prompt is engineering, ingénierie. By now I am having serious doubts in the randomness of the random word list I’ve generated but never mind, let’s move on.

The quote belongs to Sheldon Cooper of The Big Bang Theory series. I knew he was bound to have said a lot of funny things about engineering. Here it is in its fullness:

L’ingénierie... Là où les braves tâcherons exécutent la vision de ceux qui réfléchissent et ont un rêve. Bonjour les hoompa-loompas de la science!
Engineering. Where the noble semi-skilled labourers execute the vision of those who think and dream. Hello, oompah-loompahs of science.
The cat is admiring the Betancourt machine, as found in the Elder Museum of Science and Technology in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. I think he is quite impressed and doesn’t share Sheldon’s opinion of engineering at all.
