In science, self-satisfaction is death. Personal seld-satisfaction is the death of the scientist. Collective self-satisfaction is the death of the research. It is restlessness, anxiety, dissatisfaction, agony of mind that nourish science.

                   ------Jaques Monad, 1976

翻译：

在科学领域，自我满足无异于死。个人的自我满足是科学家的个体死亡，而集体的自我满足则是一个领域的死亡。只有毫不间歇、常常焦虑、从不自满、老在挣扎的大脑才能成就科学。
