“We have paid for nothing more dearly than for the little bit of human reason and the sense of freedom that currently constitutes our pride.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“From a distance the rushing of the torrent delights and uplifts us, but it rocks us in a flimsy boat, we are overwhelmed by despair. The same applies to danger.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
