Dissent is the
native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a
good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut
off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt
whether it will be a man.
-- Jacob Bronowski
1908-1974, British Scientist,
Author
The more we
learn of science, the more we see that its wonderful
mysteries are all explained by a few simple laws so
connected together and so dependent upon each other, that we
see the same mind animating them all.
-- Olympia Brown
1835-1926, American Women's
Suffrage Leader
I hate
science. It denies a man's responsibility for his own deeds,
abolishes the brotherhood that springs from God's
fatherhood. It is a hectoring, dictating expertise, which
makes the least lovable of the Church Fathers seem liberal
by contrast. It is far easier for a Hitler or a Stalin to
find a mock-scientific excuse for persecution than it was
for Dominic to find a mock-Christian one.
-- Basil Bunting
1900-1985, British Poet
They tend to
be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos
they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his
distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that
some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his
very brain and steal his genius work.
-- William S. Burroughs
1914-1997, American Writer
