Forget scientists. The next space launch we should send up painters, poets and musicians. I’d be more interested in what they discover than anything that takes place in a test tube.

About This Quote

Scientists are busy working away in laboratories. They’re not out there looking for love or making art. They’re not out there making music or adding to the beauty of the world. They’re stuck in a test tube inside their minds, living among the endless rows of beakers and test tubes.

It’s easy to forget that scientists are human too. That they have feelings just like everyone else, and they want to be happy. We need them to build bombs, but we also need them to build bridges, write stories and paint pictures.

It’s important that we remember that, because what they do affects all of us.
