We still need to reason our way together to a better view of those issues.

    Martin Luther King (Jr.), Alex Ayres (1993). “The Wisdom of Martin Luther King, Jr”, Plume
  • If you thought you were trying to find out more about it because you're gonna get an answer to some deep philosophical question...you may be wrong! It may be that you can't get an answer to that particular question by finding out more about the character of nature. But my interest in science is to simply find out about the world.

    Richard P. Feynman (2015). “The Quotable Feynman”, p.115, Princeton University Press
