In science, there are no universal truths, just views of the world that have yet to be shown to be false.

We explore because we are curious, not because we wish to develop grand views of reality or better widgets.

For me, Woody Allen's 'Manhattan' defines New York. Both New York and Manhattan Island should be in black in white! I always hear the soundtrack of Gershwin in my head every time I go over the Queensboro Bridge, or come in from JFK because of it!

As we get older, things seem less important.

Don't undermine the science just because you don't like the economics. That's a dangerous slope, because the problem of course is you're not undermining just that, you're undermining the basis of rational decision-making in society.

Science is too important not to be a part of popular culture.
