“ Some dreamers demand that scientists only discover things that can be used for good. ”
Science gives us a powerful vocabulary, and it is impossible to produce a vocabulary with which one can only say nice things.
~ John Charles Polanyi
For science must breathe the oxygen of freedom.
Human dignity is better served by embracing knowledge.
For scholarship - if it is to be scholarship - requires, in addition to liberty, that the truth take precedence over all sectarian interests, including self-interest.
