Quote	Scientists habitually moan that the public doesn't understand them. But they complain too much: public ignorance isn't peculiar to science. It's sad if some citizens can't tell a proton from a protein. But it's equally sad if they're ignorant of their nation's history, can't speak a second language, or can't find Venezuela or Syria on a map.

Quote: Margery Williams Bianco Love It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. Margery Williams Bianco Love

Quote: Albert Einstein Mother's Day, Sympathy, Sister, Mom My mother and sister seem somewhat petty and philistine to me, despite the sympathy I feel for them.

Deep inside we no longer understand one another, and are incapable of actively empathizing with the other, or knowing what emotions move the other. Albert Einstein Mother's Day, Sympathy, Sister, Mom
