“ The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking. 传统观点保护我们免受思考的痛苦。 John Kenneth Galbraith 加尔布雷思
“ Natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. 天生的才干如同天生的植物一样,需要靠学习来修剪;读书本身如若不以经验为限,必然方向纷杂而漫无目的。 Francis Bacon 弗朗西斯·培根
“ The increase of scientific knowledge lies not only in the occasional milestones of science, but in the efforts of the very large body of men who with love and devotion observe and study nature. 科学知识的增长不仅在于科学上偶然出现的里程碑式的事件,而且还在于广大热爱自然、专心致志地观察和研究自然的人们的努力。 Polykarp Kusch 波利卡普·库施
