Today in America -- the child of European imperialism -- a new revolution is rising. It is the revolution of our time. It is the only revolution that involves radical, moral, and practical opposition to the spirit of nationalism. It is the only revolution that, to that opposition, joins culture, economic and technological power, and a total affirmation of liberty for all in the place of archaic prohibitions. It therefore offers the only escape for mankind today; the acceptance of technological civilization as a means and not as an end, and -- since we cannot be saved either by the destruction of civilization or by its continuation -- the development of the ability to reshape that civilization without annihilating it.

Patience protects from insult as clothes protect from the cold; if you put on more as it grows colder, it will not harm you; so, too, you should increase your patience in the face of great insults, and they will not reach your spirit.

The role of the scientist is to search for the truth, not attempt to prove a belief. In Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha, the young wanderer, Govinda, is cautioned not to go looking for something but rather to find what is there ("... as a result of your seeking you cannot find"). Science has strict processes for judging what constitutes knowledge. An individual's musings constitute only the beginning, the creation of hypotheses. Testing of hypotheses, followed by peers' careful evaluation and rigorous critiques, may ultimately lead to theories. A scientific theory is not "just" a theory; it represents a very high level of knowledge acquisition. Religious belief is different.
