Science is not everything, but science is very beautiful.
No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.
As long as men are free to ask what they will, free to say what they think, free to think what they must, science will never regress and freedom itself will never be wholly lost.
I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. J.The Bhagavad Gita, 1945
