Taken As A Story Of Human Achievement,

Bertrand Russell Had Given A Talk On The Then New Quantum Mechanics, Of Whose Wonders He Was Most Appreciative. He Spoke Hard And Earnestly In The New Lecture Hall. And When He Was Done, Professor Whitehead, Who Presided, Thanked Him For His Efforts, And Not Least For 'leaving The Vast Darkness Of The Subject Unobscured'.

Taken As A Story Of Human Achievement, And Human Blindness, The Discoveries In The Sciences Are Among The Great Epics.

The Greatest Of The Changes That Science Has Brought Is The Acuity Of Change; The Greatest Novelty The Extent Of Novelty.

Truth, Not A Pet, Is Man's Best Friend.

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.
