What Really Makes Science Grow Is New

It Is Impossible To Speak In Such A Way That You Cannot Be Misunderstood.

In So Far As A Scientific Statement Speaks About Reality, It Must Be Falsifiable; And In So Far As It Is Not Falsifiable, It Does Not Speak About Reality.

The Scientific Tradition Is Distinguished From The Pre-scientific Tradition By Having Two Layers. Like The Latter, It Passes On Its Theories; But It Also Passes On A Critical Attitude Towards Them.

I Remained A Socialist For Several Years, Even After My Rejection Of Marxism; And If There Could Be Such A Thing As Socialism Combined With Individual Liberty, I Would Be A Socialist Still. For Nothing Could Be Better Than Living A Modest, Simple, And Free Life In An Egalitarian Society.

In My View, Aiming At Simplicity And Lucidity Is A Moral Duty Of All Intellectuals: Lack Of Clarity Is A Sin, And Pretentiousness Is A Crime.
