Jacob Bronowski said this quote

This is the concentration camp and crematorium at Auschwitz. This is where people were turned into numbers. Into this pond were flushed the ashes of some four million people. And that was not done by gas. It was done by arrogance. It was done by dogma. It was done by ignorance. When people believe that they have absolute knowledge, with no test in reality, this is how they behave.

Man masters nature not by force, but by understanding

~ Jacob Bronowski

It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it.

~ Jacob Bronowski

We are nature's unique experiment to make the rational intelligence prove itself sounder than the reflex. Knowledge is our destiny
