Science is the search for truth - it is not a game in which one tries to beat his opponent, to do harm to others.

You can leave the corpse for all to see and nobody calls the cops.: Paul Brooks, The Pursuit of Wilderness (1971)

A man is infinitely more complicated than his thoughts.: Paul Valery (1871 - 1945)

However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do want society.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
The spirit of the age is filled with the disdain for thinking.: Albert Schweitzer (1875 - 1965)
