More From Jacob Bronowski
- "No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power."
- "That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer."
- "We are all afraid for our confidence, for the future, for the world. That is the nature of the human imagination. Yet every man, every civilization, has gone forward because of its engagement with what it has set itself to do."
