„Важно, чтобы у студентов была здоровая хулиганская непочтительность к знаниям; ведь их дело — не поклоняться изучаемому, а сомневаться в нем.“

Part 2: "The Habit of Truth", §6 (p. 36)
Science and Human Values (1956, 1965)

“Science and the arts shared the same language at the Restoration. They no longer seem to do so today. …they lack the same language. And it is the business of each of us to make that one universal language which alone can unite art and science, and layman and scientist, in a common understanding.”

"Sense and Sensibility"
The Common Sense of Science (1951)

“Christopher Columbus discovered the West Indies, and Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. We do not call their achievements creations because they are not personal enough. The West Indies were there all the time; and as for the telephone, we feel that Bell's ingenious thought was somehow not fundamental. The groundwork was there, and if not Bell then someone else would have stumbled on the telephone almost as accidently as on the West Indies.
By contrast, we feel that Othello is genuinely a creation. This is not because Othello came out of a clear sky; it did not. There were Elizabethan dramatists before William Shakespeare, and without them he could not have written as he did.

He had indeed, and he has: for mass is not an intuition in the muscle, and time is not bought ready-made at the watchmaker's.”

Part 2: "The Habit of Truth", §5 (p. 35)
Science and Human Values (1956, 1965)

“Blake and Coleridge and Wilberforce were… contemporaries of Arkwright and James Watt. Against this, those who hold the illusion that pre-industrial England was more sensitive and cultured, point to the misery of the manufacturing age. …[T]errible evils …are …far older than 1800 and the machines. But in the factory these evils became naked and public; and the driving force for reform came from the men of the mill, from Robert Owen and the elder Peel.”
