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

Science is an enterprise that can only flourish if it puts the truth ahead of nationality, ethnicity, class and color.

In education the appetite does indeed grow with eating. I have never known anyone to abandon study because they knew too much.

If we treasure our own experience and regard it as real, we must also treasure other people's experience.

The applause is a celebration not only of the actors but also of the audience. It constitutes a shared moment of delight.

A new sense of shared international responsibility is unmistakable in the voices of the United Nations and its agencies, and in the civil society of thousands of supra-national NGOs.

Human dignity is better served by embracing knowledge.
