"It is hard for the ape to believe he descended from man."

"By asking a novel question that you don't know the answer to, you discover whether you can formulate a way of finding the answer, and you stretch your own mind, and very often you learn something new."
"Science doesn't in the slightest depend on trust. It depends completely on the belief that you can demonstrate something for yourself."
