Joseph Brodsky
“It is a virtue, I came to believe long ago, not to make a meal out of one's emotional life. There's always enough work to do, not to mention that there's world enough outside.”
― Joseph Brodsky

Abraham H. Maslow
“Orthodox science today attempts to be free not only of values but also of emotions. As youngsters would say, it tries to be "cool".”
― Abraham H. Maslow, The Psychology of Science: A Reconnaissance

Ursula K. Le Guin
“One of our finest methods of organized forgetting is called discovery.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin

Lorraine Daston
“Facts are often faint and flickering. They are the achievements of subtle investigations that must painstakingly stabilize evanescent effects or ingeniously combine several strands of evidence into a strong, weight-bearing cord. Above all, as their etymology suggests, [...] the most interesting and useful facts are not given but made, artifacts in the best sense of the word.”
― Lorraine Daston

“[S]cience, to [Walter] Lippmann, embodied a deep awareness of the irrationality and partiality of all human beings, which led its possessors to oppose the will to dominate wherever it appeared.”
― Andrew Jewett, Science, Democracy, and the American University
