"The task of the man of science is not only to cope with the sciences of which man is the subject, but - and this is a much more difficult thing - he must also persuade the world to embrace what he has discovered. If this enterprise is not crowned with success, man will destroy himself with his half-way cleverness.

The task of the man of science is not only to cope with the sciences of which man is the subject, but - and this is a much more difficult thing - he must also persuade the world to embrace what he has discovered. If this enterprise is not crowned with success, man will destroy himself with his half-way cleverness.
""A tudomány emberének nemcsak az a feladata, hogy megbirkózzék a tudományokkal, amelyeknek az ember a tárgya, hanem - és ez már sokkal nehezebb dolog - rá is kell vennie a világot, hogy szívlelje meg azt, amit ő felfedezett. Ha ezt a vállalkozást nem koronázza siker, az ember önmagát fogja elpusztítani a félúton megrekedt okosságával."
