Science Knows No Country Because

When You Believe You Have Found An Important Scientific Fact, And Are Feverishly Curious To Publish It, Constrain Yourself For Days, Weeks, Years Sometimes, Fight Yourself, Try And Ruin Your Own Experiments, And Only Proclaim Your Discovery After Having Exhausted All Contrary Hypotheses. But When, After So Many Efforts You Have At Last Arrived At A Certainty, Your Joy Is One Of The Greatest Which Can Be Felt By A Human Soul.

The Universe Is Asymmetric.

In The Fields Of Observation Chance Favors Only Those Minds Which Are Prepared.

Without Theory, Practice Is But Routine Born Of Habit. Theory Alone Can Bring Forth And Develop The Spirit Of Invention. ... [do Not] Share The Opinion Of Those Narrow Minds Who Disdain Everything In Science Which Has Not An Immediate Application. ... A Theoretical Discovery Has But The Merit Of Its Existence: It Awakens Hope, And That Is All. But Let It Be Cultivated, Let It Grow, And You Will See What It Will Become.

My Opinion - Nay More, My Conviction - Is That, In The Present State Of Science, As You Rightly Say, Spontaneous Generation Is A Chimera; And It Would Be Impossible For You To Contradict Me, For My Experiments All Stand Forth To Prove That Spontaneous Generation Is A Chimera.
