We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity. -Marie Curie (1867 – 1934), Lecture at Vassar College, May 14, 1921
Science is one thing, wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers. -Sir Arthur Eddington (1882 – 1944), Attributed in Robert L. Weber “More Random Walks in Science”, 1982
Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.-Stephen Hawking
