“ Science commits suicide when it adopts a creed. ”
Of moral purpose I see no trace in Nature. That is an article of exclusively human manufacture - and very much to our credit.
~ Thomas Huxley
If some great power would agree to make me always think what is true and do what is right on condition of being some sort of clock and wound up every morning before I got out of bed I should close instantly with the offer.
The great tragedy of Science: the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
Sit down before fact as a little child be prepared to give up every preconceived notion follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss nature leads or you shall learn nothing.
