It is true that many scientists are not philosophically minded and have hitherto shown much skill and ingenuity but little wisdom.

Those who say that the study of science makes a man an atheist, must be rather silly people.

I believe there is no philosophical high-road in science, with epistemological signposts. No, we are in a jungle and find our way by trial and error, building our road behind us as we proceed.

I thought if I told no one it might not be true.

Man's enemies are not demons, but human beings like himself.

Listen - man is a child of Nature. When he turns against his mother - he's done! He may not find out about it right away, but he will.
