�Science is an integral part of culture. It�s not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It�s one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.�
- Stephen Jay Gould (1941 - 2002), American scientist: in �The Independent� (London), January 24, 1990.
�The opportunities for heroism are limited in this kind of world: the most people can do is sometimes not to be as weak as they�ve been at other times.�
