[edit] A few thoughts

• "Bernard is right; the pathogen is nothing; the terrain is everything." - Louis Pasteur's deathbed words
• ""In intellectual controversies, both sides tend to be in the right in what they affirm though in the wrong in what they deny." - John Stuart Mill
• "Every poet, I thought, must be original and originality a condition of poetic genius; so that each poet is like a species in nature (not an individuum genericum or specificum) and can never recur. That nothing should be old or borrowed however cannot be." - Gerald Manley Hopkins
• "It is my conviction that intentional phenomenology has for the first time made spirit as spirit the field of systematic scientific experience, thus effecting a total transformation of the task of knowledge." - Edmund Husserl

[edit] And further

• "If my mental processes are determined wholly by the motions of the atoms in my brain, I have no reason to suppose that my beliefs are true...and hence I have no reason for supposing my brain to be composed of atoms." -- J. B. S. Haldane, "When I am Dead"
