In believing too much in rationality, our contemporaries have lost something.

The losses of the natural world are our loss, their silence silences something within the human mind.

We are afraid of ideas, of experimenting, of change. We shrink from thinking a problem through to a logical conclusion.

The fatal tendency of mankind to leave off thinking about a thing when it is no longer doubtful is the cause of half their errors.

Science requires a society because even people who are trying to be good thinkers love their own thoughts and theories - much of the debugging has to be done by others.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

If some things don't make you lose your sense of reason, then you have none to lose.

Science, which is not so attached to 'truth' as it once was, ut more to immediate 'effectiveness', is now drifting towards a decline, it's civic fall from grace.

The scientists do not get enough help, enough encouragement, to change their field from time to time because the pressure is too high or is to perform something. And once you start in a new field, you are a nobody to start with, you see.
