Scientists are very afraid of being proven wrong.

When, as we must often do, we fear science, we really fear ourselves.

To the scientist there is the joy in pursuing truth which nearly counteracts the depressing revelations of truth.

There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth.

People are always afraid of the truth.

My personal conviction is that science is concerned wholly with truth, not with ethics.

The most solid piece of scientific truth I know of is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature.

To be afraid is to behave as if the truth were not true.

Science is but an image of the truth.

Understanding truth is the primary objective of science, not doing good for the world.
