The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn't write them again, and wouldn't want to.

A few great minds are enough ...

A few great minds are enough to endow humanity with monstrous power, but a few great hearts are not enough to make us worthy of using it.

There are certain moments when we might wish the future were built by men of the past.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

Falsity cannot keep an idea f...

Falsity cannot keep an idea from being beautiful; there are certain errors of such ingenuity that one could regret their not ranking among the achievements of the human mind.

There are some persons we could not cut down to size without diminishing ourselves as well.

What scientist would not long to go on living, if only to see how the little truths he has brought to light will grow up?

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

On tue un homme, on est un assassin. On tue des millions d'hommes, on est un conqu?rant. On les tue tous, on est un dieu.
Kill a man, and you are an assassin. Kill millions of men and you are a conqueror. Kill everyone, and you are a god.

If a given scientist had not made a given discovery, someone else would have done so a little later. Johann Mendel dies unknown after having discovered the laws of heredity: thirty-five years later, three men rediscover them. But the book that is not written will never be written. The premature death of a great scientist delays humanity; that of a great writer deprives it.
