• Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. Nearly all men of science, all men of learning for that matter, and men of simple ways too, have it in some form and in some degree. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission. If we abandon that mission under stress we shall abandon it forever, for stress will not cease. Knowledge for the sake of understanding, not merely to prevail, that is the essence of our being. None can define its limits, or set its ultimate boundaries.

  Vannevar Bush

  Faith, Stress, Knowledge

• Most of us can learn to live in perfect comfort on higher levels of power. Everyone knows that on any given day there are energies slumbering in him which the incitements of that day do not call forth. Compared with what we ought to be, we are only half awake. It is evident that our organism has stored-up reserves of energy that are ordinarily not called upon - deeper and deeper strata of explosible material, ready for use by anyone who probes so deep. The human individual usually lives far within his limits.

  William James

• Los enemigos mortales del hombre no son sus congéneres de otro continente o raza; son los aspectos del mundo físico que limitan o desafían su control, los gérmenes de la enfermedad que le atacan a él y a sus plantas y animales domesticados, y los insectos que portan muchos de estos gérmenes además de producir notables daños directos. Ésta no es la era del hombre, por grande que sea su superioridad en tamaño e inteligencia; es literalmente la era de los insectos.
