-
When, as we must often do, we fear science, we really fear ourselves.
-
For science must breathe the oxygen of freedom.
-
Human dignity is better served by embracing knowledge.
-
Scientia is knowledge. It is only in the popular mind that it is equated with facts.
-
Others think it the responsibility of scientists to coerce the rest of society, because they have the power that derives from special knowledge.
