There Must Be No Barriers For Freedom Of Inquiry... There Is No Place For Dogma In Science. The Scientist Is Free, And Must Be Free To Ask Any Question, To Doubt Any Assertion, To Seek For Any Evidence, To Correct Any Errors.

We Know That The Wages Of Secrecy Are Corruption. We Know That In Secrecy Error, Undetected, Will Flourish And Subvert.

There Is Something Irreversible About Acquiring Knowledge; And The Simulation Of The Search For It Differs In A Most Profound Way From The Reality.

Everyone Wants Rather To Be Pleasing To Women And That Desire Is Not Altogether, Though It Is Very Largely, A Manifestation Of Vanity. But One Cannot Aim To Be Pleasing To Women Any More Than One Can Aim To Have Taste, Or Beauty Of Expression, Or Happiness; For These Things Are Not Specific Aims Which One May Learn To Attain; They Are Descriptions Of The Adequacy Of One's Living. To Try To Be Happy Is To Try To Build A Machine With No Other Specification Than That It Shall Run Noiselessly.
