November 28, 1908 -
Nationality: French
Category: Scientist
Subcategory: French Scientist
|  Language is a form of human reason, which has its internal logic of which man knows nothing. | | I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. | | The wise man doesn't give the right answers, he poses the right questions. | | Our system is the height of absurdity, since we treat the culprit both as a child, so as to have the right to punish him, and as an adult, in order to deny him consolation. | | Just as the individual is not alone in the group, nor any one in society alone among the others, so man is not alone in the universe. | | The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he is one who asks the right questions. | | The world began without man, and it will complete itself without him. | | The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions. |
