Science is the one culture that's truly global - protons, proteins and Pythagoras's Theorem are the same from China to Peru. It should transcend all barriers of nationality. It should straddle all faiths, too.

Science is a part of culture. Indeed, it is the only truly global culture because protons and proteins are the same all over the world, and it's the one culture we can all share.

Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.

I'm a big believer that science is part of a larger cultural thing. Science is not all by itself.

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 affects all our ways of thinking about the world: both the physical world, which, if I may make so bold, is easy to understand because it is regular and follows simple laws, and also the social world, which is more baffling and less predictable.

We tend to think of science as finding equations, like E=MC2, that are simple and elegant. But maybe some theories are complicated, and we can only find the simple ones.

Science is far from the center of the world for most people: even for many with highly sophisticated tastes, interests, and accomplishments.

I saw science as being in harmony with humanity.

After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.
