"It is sometimes important for science to know how to forget the things she is surest of." ― Jean Rostand Topic(s): Science More From Jean Rostand "It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him." "A few great minds are enough to endow humanity with monstrous power, but a few great hearts are not enough to make us worthy of using it." "The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious." More In Science "But because we live in an age of science, we have a preoccupation with corroborating our myths."― Michael Shermer "In a state therefore of great equality and virtue, where pure and simple manners prevailed, the increase of the human species would evidently be much greater than any increase that has been hitherto known."― Thomas Malthus "I’ve always been a big fan of science fiction and of the worlds of the spiritual and the mystic."― Dan Aykroyd
