Style doesn't change every month or every year. It only changes as often as there is a real change in the point of view and lives of the people for whom it is produced.

What made it special made it dangerous, so I bury it... and forget.

For those of us who have been diagnosed with cancer, time is a precious commodity. The time and distance from the scientist's lab bench to the patient's bedside must be shortened.

The stimulus of competition, when applied at an early age to real thought processes, is injurious both to nerve-power and to scientific insight.
