Some dreamers demand that scientists only discover things that can be used for good.

When, as we must often do, we fear science, we really fear ourselves. Human dignity is better served by embracing knowledge.

Science is a collection of stories, linking characters worthy of notice.

It takes a trained and discerning researcher to keep the goal in sight, and to detect evidence of the creeping progress toward it.

Science never gives up searching for truth, since it never claims to have achieved it.

At the heart of science lies discovery which involves a change in worldview. Discovery in science is possible only in societies which accord their citizens the freedom to pursue the truth where it may lead and which therefore have respect for different paths to that truth.

Reality is no less precious if it presents itself to someone else. All are discoverers, and if we disenfranchise any, all suffer.
