| A scientist is, then, a seeker after truth. The truth is that which he reaches out for, the direction toward which his face is turned. Complete certainty is beyond his reach, though, and many questions to which he would like answers lie outside the universe of discourse of natural science. |
| — P.B. Medawar |
| One must not only have the knowledge, but also apply it. One must not only desire, but also act. |
| — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |
