“A general principle concerning the gender of bears has been established years ago by bear supervisor König from Bern, after over thirty years of observation. It allows for predictions and states, in short, that when a female bear bears three cubs, and they aren't all male or female, it will invariably be either two males and a female, or two females and a male.”

“Si l'organisme vivant est un system hiérarchisé dont le niveau d'organisation est au-dessus du niveau chimique, il est alors évident qu'il doit être étudié à tous les niveaux et qu'une recherche limitée à l'un d'entre eux (niveaux chimique par exemple) ne peut remplacer celle effectuée aux niveau supérieurs.”

“Einstein's iconoclasm and unyielding refusal of uncritically accept the common vision of the world are undoubtedly key to his achievements in theoretical physics. The theory of relativity could only have been invented by someone unafraid to reject centuries-old scientific assumptions. He was also remarkably courageous in opposing opponents far more powerful than himself—from the Nazis to the McCarthyites of America's Cold War era. Obrazoburstwo Einsteina i nieustępliwa odmowa bezkrytycznego przyjmowania powszechnej wizji świata są bez wątpienia kluczem do jego dokonań w dziedzinie fizyki teoretycznej. Teoria względności mogła zostać wymyślona tylko przez osobę, która nie bała się odrzucać wielowiekowych założeń naukowych. Był też niezwykle odważny przeciwstawianiu się przeciwnikom o wiele mocniejszych od siebie - od nazistów do makkartystów z czasów zimniej wojny w Ameryce.”
