It may offend us to hear our own thoughts expressed by others: we are not sure enough of their souls.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

It takes a very deep-rooted opinion to survive unexpressed.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

One must credit an hypothesis ...

One must credit an hypothesis with all that has had to be discovered in order to demolish it.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

The nobility of a human being ...

The nobility of a human being is strictly independent of that of his convictions.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

To love an idea is to love it ...

To love an idea is to love it a little more than one should.

To reflect is to disturb one's thoughts.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

Somebody told me I should put ...

Somebody told me I should put a pebble in my mouth to cure my stuttering. Well, I tried it, and during a scene I swallowed the pebble. That was the end of that.

Already at the origin of the species man was equal to what he was destined to become.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

Greatness, in order to gain re...

Greatness, in order to gain recognition, must all too often consent to ape greatness.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

I don't judge a regime by the damning criticism of the opposition, but by the ingenuous praise of the partisan.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

One must either take an interest in the human situation or else parade before the void.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

The ideal, without doubt, vari...

The ideal, without doubt, varies, but its enemies, alas, are always the same.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

The least one can say of power...

The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

A body of work such as Pasteur...

A body of work such as Pasteur's is inconceivable in our time: no man would be given a chance to create a whole science. Nowadays a path is scarcely opened up when the crowd begins to pour in.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

It is not easy to imagine how ...

It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

When a scientist is ahead of h...

When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won't one day, from some perspective, appear prophetic.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

Renown? I've already got more ...

Renown? I've already got more of it than those I respect, and will never have as much as those for whom I feel contempt..

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

The divine is perhaps that quality in man which permits him to endure the lack of God.

Jean Rostand 135 quotes

If a given scientist had not m...

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.

I still understand a few words in life, but I no longer think they make a sentence.
