"...In that transition between the dead organic combination and the similar that is alive lies the great, incomprenhensible mystery... In that leap from the dead to the living lies the mysterious break of continuity wich defies our understanding. Between the chemically definable protein molecule and the living bacterial cell there is a gap of understanding far greater than between the first living cell and man".

Hans Zinsser, Rats, lice & History. 1935

"...The most that the scientist and the artist acomplish is new understanding of things that have always been. They "create" a clearer perception. They are both, in this sense, observers, the obvious diference being that de scientist impersonally describes de external world, whereas the artist expressesthe effects wich external things exert upon his own mind and heart. In both cases, the more generally applicable the observations, the greater is the science of art".
