Every animal leaves traces of what it was man alone leaves traces of what he created. – Jacob Bronowski
We are all afraid for our confidence, for the future, for the world. That is the nature of the human imagination. Yet every man, every civilization, has gone forward because of its engagement with what it has set itself to do. – Jacob Bronowski
Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature. – Jacob Bronowski
It doesnt matter whether youre talking about bombs or the intelligence quotients of one race as against another if a man is a scientist, like me, hell always say Publish and be damned. – Jacob Bronowski
I envy people with dreams and passions, but I dont think that way. I still dont have a bliss to follow. For people like me – I suspect thats most people – holding out for a dream or a passion is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. Thats hard enough… but its enough. – Jane Pauley
