“It is because I know all that science can bring to the world that I shall continue my efforts to ensure that it contributes to the happiness of all men, whether they be white, black, or yellow, and not to their annihilation in the name of some divine mission or other.”
― Frédéric Joliot-Curie

“By death the moon was gathered in Long ago, ah long ago;
Yet still the silver corpse must spin
And with another's light must glow.
Her frozen mountains must forget
Their primal hot volcanic breath,
Doomed to revolve for ages yet,
Void amphitheatres of death.
And all about the cosmic sky,
The black that lies beyond our blue,
Dead stars innumerable lie,
And stars of red and angry hue
Not dead but doomed to die.”
― Julian Huxley, The Captive Shrew and other poems of a Biologist

“A billion neutrinos go swimming in heavy water: one gets wet.”

“It took less than an hour to make the atoms, a few hundred million years to make the stars and planets, but five billion years to make man!”
― George Gamow, The Creation of the Universe
