The Dangers of Certainty: ".... The pursuit of scientific knowledge is as personal an act as lifting a paintbrush or writing a poem, and they are both profoundly human. If the human condition is defined by limitedness, then this is a glorious fact because it is a moral limitedness rooted in a faith in the power of the imagination, our sense of responsibility and our acceptance of our fallibility.
We always have to acknowledge that we might be mistaken. When we forget that, then we forget ourselves and the worst can happen."
