- "English, once accepted as an international language, is no more secure than French has proved to be as the one and only accepted language of diplomacy or as Latin has proved to be as the international language of science."

- "The big journals and Nobel laureates are the equivalent of Congressional leaders in science journalism."― Michael Pollan
