“ You look at science (or at least talk of it) as some sort of demoralising invention of man, something apart from real life, and which must be cautiously guarded and kept separate from everyday existence.

Rosalind Franklin Scientist
“ The amount of knowledge which we can justify from evidence directly available to us can never be large.

Michael Polanyi Economic Consultant

Anne Conway, Viscountess Conway Philosopher
