Usually we know nothing of the ultimate orientation or of the outlet toward which we travel, and the stream sweeps us to a formula of life from which there is no returning. Every decision is like a murder, and our march forward is over the stillborn bodies of all our possible selves that will never be.”
René Dubos, Louis Pasteur: Free Lance of Science
“Think globally, act locally.”
René Dubos
“Human diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue; it makes it a requirement for survival.”
Rene Dubos

“Wherever human beings are concerned, trend is not destiny.”
René Dubos
