Albert Einstein
“All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.”
Albert Einstein, Out of My Later Years: The Scientist, Philosopher, and Man Portrayed Through His Own Words

“C'est la ceinture de sécurité qui m'a confronté pour la première fois à une frontière qui sépare deux mondes. L'un est habité par ceux qui tentent d'améliorer les connaissances avec des méthodes appropriées, présentées et commentées avec sincérité, c'est le fondement de la démarche scientifique. L'autre associe des personnes qui imaginent et "démontrent" ce qui va dans le sens de ce qu'ils veulent prouver.”
Claude Got, La violence routière - Des mensonges qui tuent
