• “Self-doubt is part of being human...but the main thing is to get on with the business of survival.”
• “But you are a scientist, Michael Poole; and the skill of a scientist is in asking the right question.”
• “It’s all a bit anarchic, I suppose, but it’s also highly effective. Flexible, responsive, mobile, heuristic, with intelligence distributed to the lowest level...A bit like an ideal human society, I suppose; free individuals seeking out ways to advance the common good.”
