José Mariano Gago
“O desafio do desenvolvimento científico atinge o país inteiro e põe em jogo mecanismos que atravessam a sociedade toda. Sem cultura científica mínima são escassas as oportunidades de cidadania autêntica, de construir ou participar nas escolhas de sociedade […].”
José Mariano Gago, Manifesto para a Ciência em Portugal

Michael Crichton
“The ultimate lesson is that science isn’t special � at least not anymore. Maybe back when Einstein talked to Niels Bohr, and there were only a few dozen important workers in every field. But there are now three million researchers in America. It’s no longer a calling, it’s a career. Science is as corruptible a human activity as any other. Its practitioners aren’t saints, they’re human beings, and they do what human beings do � lie, cheat, steal from one another, sue, hide data, fake data, overstate their own importance and denigrate opposing views unfairly. That’s human nature. It isn’t going to change”
Michael Crichton, Next

Marcus Aurelius
“Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream; for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Miguel Real
“Ao longo de 400 anos, de D. João III a Oliveira Salazar, Portugal criou uma forma mental e uma visão do mundo que se alimentam exclusivamente da negativização do pensamento oposto, da doutrina contrária, da teoria diferente, nulificando igualmente os seus autores � conceito combatido, autor preso, exilado ou morto, livro queimado ou proibido. O pensador portador da diferença era encarado como inimigo a abater ou a esmagar e o povo � eterno rústico aldeão, alimentado pelas malhas de crendice e da superstição � como massa amorfa ignorante a iluminar e converter. A história da cultura portuguesa moderna e contemporânea solidificou-se, ao longo de cerca de 400 anos por via de uma série de sucessivas negatividades que não têm par no movimento cultural dos restantes países europeus, porventura com excepção da Espanha.”
Miguel Real, A Morte de Portugal
