Several of these seem to be "a clever thing about my field" rather than a Reboot Keyphrase such as the one Feynman provided.
I particularly enjoyed Steven Strogatz's phrase which attempts to encapsulate calculus and thus impart the mathematical underpinnings that Newton did--thus providing for the first time that leap in predictive powers of human-created models that spurred the belief in our ability to truly understand the world around us.
That is, it's one of the few phrases that I think would generate the impetus for further study, rather than relying on that drive to be there.
