Safe Return

Famous quotes containing the words safe and/or return:

    It is always safe to learn, even from our enemies; seldom safe to venture to instruct, even our friends.
    —C.C. (Charles Caleb)

    The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.
    Primo Levi (1919–1987)
