"Science is a human activity, and the best way to understand it is to understand the individual human beings who practise it. Science is an art form and not a philosophical method.

Every time we introduce a new tool, it always leads to new and unexpected discoveries, because Nature's imagination is richer than ours."

— Freeman Dyson
