"There must be no barriers for freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors."

In terms of intimacy, folding laundry together or sharing the feeding of a child can have more impact than the most extravagant bouquet.”
