Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual condition of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtler than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery.

Deutsche Übersetzung

In der Wissenschaft geht es nicht um Kontrolle. Es geht darum, einen immerwährenden Zustand des Wunders gegenüber etwas zu kultivieren, das für immer einen Schritt reicher und subtiler wird als unsere neueste Theorie darüber. Es geht um Ehrerbietung, nicht um Meisterschaft.

I do wish that reviews were less like book reports. There was an era when reviewers had something to say about a book: when they painted context and drew conclusions. Many reviews these days are little more than plot summary.

Marcus Sakey

People who see no gray tend to convince others to follow them. If someone talks with great conviction and joy, people tend to agree with them.

That's what makes the Ryder Cup in golf so much better than the Masters or the U.S. Open. To be a part of something that is not about personal achievement, but about representing everyone and sharing it with the whole country, it's wonderful.

Scott Hamilton

And I have to say, I agree with some of the criticisms that some have made about that state program which allocates the grant money on a very rigid formula all across the country, with a certain percentage to each state.

I'm too obsessed that the people who say critical things about me are right, even though I'm getting to do something I love.

Ina Garten

To be clear, I abhor the separation wall. It is an eyesore in itself and makes tangible the failed diplomacy and cruel short-sightedness that causes such misery in the region. No Palestinian can see that wall and not wonder if the Israelis mean it to stay there forever, a constant reminder of what they never intend to change.
