(发表于《科学时报 中学生周刊》2002年7月28日)
The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living.
Jules Heni Poincare
科学家研究自然界不是因为自然界是有用的;他研究自然界是因为他欣赏自然,而他之所以欣赏自然是因为自然界是美丽的。如果自然界不美,它就不值得去理解,而如果自然界不值得去理解,日子也就不值得过了。
法国数学家彭加莱
