Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back.

I do not know why I have always been fascinated by science or why I have been driven by the intense desire to make some original contribution. And although I have had some degree of success as a scientist, it is hard to say precisely why.

Though many have tried, no one has ever yet explained away the decisive fact that science, which can do so much, cannot decide what it ought to do.

Many have gone on to do important scientific work but all remember those wonderful times when we and our science were young and our excitement in meeting new challenges knew no bounds.

I've always been very one-sided about science, and when I was younger, I concentrated almost all my effort on it.

Over the last 25 years, since a lot of science writing became accessible to layman, I've become quite a consumer of science. As a child, I wasn't streamed into science, and I regret that now.

I love science, and I believe in it. I have a faith that science can solve problems and make the world a better place.

I count myself fortunate to be able to participate in the life of science in this era.

The ideas associated with the problems of the development of science, as far as I can see by looking around me, are not of the kind that everyone appreciates.

Understanding science and pushing the boundaries of science is what makes me immensely satisfied.
