Cesar Milstein Quotes

The challenge of the unknown future is so much more exciting than the stories of the accomplished past.

Motto for a research laboratory: what we work on today, others will first think of tomorrow.

Research is a way of taking calculated risks to bring about incalculable consequences.

The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.

'Star Trek' says that it has not all happened, it has not all been discovered, that tomorrow can be as challenging and adventurous as any time man has ever lived.

Any creative process is about being in a territory which isn't secure, isn't necessarily familiar, and isn't convenient in any sort of way. And that's the excitement of it.

You can never plan the future by the past.

Investing in science education and curiosity-driven research is investing in the future.

Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back.

It is the business of the future to be dangerous; and it is among the merits of science that it equips the future for its duties.

Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible, it is terribly exciting.

Breakthroughs are by definition unpredicted events. Therefore predicting breakthroughs is a particularly difficult business.

The new frontier is here whether we seek it or not.

Who brings tomorrow into the present if not the scientists, technicians and engineers?

You'll find the future wherever people are having the most fun.

If innovations were predictable, they wouldn't be discoveries.

Things are constantly evolving, and anything could happen. And that's exciting to me.

What makes me smile is a movie where I feel like it is dangerous, or there's that fresh idea there. It's about learning and growing and trying new things and tinkering, all of those things that keep you excited. But if you're not nervous, if you're not on that boundary of the unknown, I don't think you're getting better. I think you're kind of sitting back, and I don't think you're advancing the form.

We can know a lot. And still, no doubt, there are rash and wonderful ideas brewing somewhere; there are many surprises yet to come.

You can not plan to make a discovery. You do not plan innovation.

The future is unwritten. there are best case scenarios. There are worst-case scenarios. both of them are great fun to write about if you' re a science fiction novelist, but neither of them ever happens in the real world. What happens in the real world is always a sideways-case scenario. World-changing marvels to us, are only wallpaper to our children.

the science of tomorrow is the supernatural of today.

Much of the excitement we get out of our work is that we don't really know what we are doing.

Some things are going to work, some aren't. But there's always something new going on, so it's fun to watch and see what's coming next.

Without science, there would be no such hope.
