I have an idealistic view of science as a liberalising and progressive force for humanity.

Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.

Science is an enterprise that should be cherished as an activity of the free human mind. Because it transforms who we are, how we live, and it gives us an understanding of our place in the universe.

Science is the greatest creative impulse of our time. It dominates the intellectual scene and forms our lives, not only in the material things which it has given us, but also in that it guides our spirit.

Science shouldn't be just for scientists, and there are encouraging signs that it is becoming more pervasive in culture and the media.

I believe that not everything we humans encounter in our lives can be neatly and convincingly tucked away inside the orderly cabinetry of science.

Science is a wonderful discipline, to which we are deeply indebted.

Science is like a love affair with nature; an elusive, tantalising mistress. It has all the turbulence, twists and turns of romantic love, but that's part of the game.

Although there exist in the world today some microbes of the soul, such as discrimination and aggression, science was and still is the core of progress for humanity and the continuity of civilization.

I'd like to put in a vote for the intrinsic fascination of science.
