“Direi che anche lei penserebbe a un miracolo, la prima volta che le capitasse di vedere un uomo resuscitare. [...] Buffo, no? Non è che i miracoli non avvengano, è solo che gli viene dato un nome diverso. Immagini la scena: tutti i dottori a consulto intorno a un morto; l'uomo non respira più, il polso è assente, il cuore non batte: insomma, è morto. Poi arriva qualcuno che gli ridà la vita, e i dottori - com'è che si usa dire? - sospendono il giudizio. Se accade di nuovo, più volte (perché Dio è presente sulla terra), diranno: questi non sono miracoli, significano soltanto che il nostro concetto di che cosa sia la vita si è ampliato; ora sappiamo che si può essere vivi senza polso, senza respiro, senza battiti del cuore. E inventano una nuova parola per descrivere quello stato di vita e dichiarano che, ancora una volta, la scienza ha confutato un miracolo. [...] L'ultima parola sarà sempre la loro.”

“Scienza, come un generale, significa identificare i nemici: erudizione trasmessa e ipotesi non dimostrate; superstizione e ciarlataneria; la paura dei tiranni del cittadino istruito; e, più pericoloso di tutti, la passione dell'uomo a prendersi in giro. Diceva bene Bacone, l'inglese: "La comprensione umana è come un falso specchio, che ricevendo raggi irregolarmente, distorce e scolora la natura delle cose mescolando la sua propria natura con essa”
