Knowledge is indivisible. When people grow wise in one direction, they are sure to make it easier for themselves to grow wise in other directions as well.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself.

But let us remember, at the same time, government is sacred, and not to be trifled with.

My family come from Cyprus. Both my father and my grandfather worked on the British bases there, and as the British government granted independence to Cyprus, they granted British passports to those who worked with them.

As a layperson, I consider myself fairly well-educated in terms of politics. My family always has been really interested in politics, and various members of my family have a hand in politics in upstate New York.

Until politics are a branch of science we shall do well to regard political and social reforms as experiments rather than short-cuts to the millennium.
