Now I Am Become Death, The Destroyer

We Do Not Believe Any Group Of Men Adequate Enough Or Wise Enough To Operate Without Scrutiny Or Without Criticism. We Know That The Only Way To Avoid Error Is To Detect It, That The Only Way To Detect It Is To Be Free To Inquire. We Know That In Secrecy Error, Undetected, Will Flourish And Subvert.

Both The Man Of Science And The Man Of Art Live Always At The Edge Of Mystery, Surrounded By It. Both, As A Measure Of Their Creation, Have Always Had To Do With The Harmonization Of What Is New With What Is Familiar, With The Balance Between Novelty And Synthesis, With The Struggle To Make Partial Order In Total Chaos.... This Cannot Be An Easy Life.

Discovery Follows Discovery, Each Both Raising And Answering Questions, Each Ending A Long Search, And Each Providing The New Instruments For A New Search.

Optimists Think That This Is The Best Of All Possible Worlds; Pessimists Fear They Are Right.

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.
