现代化学家不满足于仅仅成为化合物的制造者；他必须是自然的解释者。

我不信上帝——就神学家使其概念可理解的程度而言，他们并未提供任何理由让我们认为有东西与之对应。

Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.

我不是为了解释而写作，我是为了迷惑而写作。
