Man masters nature not by force, but by understanding
Jacob Bronowski
The air in a man's lungs 10,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000 atoms, so that sooner or later every one of us breathes an atom that has been breathed before by anyone you can think of who has ever lived - Michelangelo or George Washington or Moses.
Jacob Bronowski
Every animal leaves traces of what it was man alone leaves traces of what he created.
Jacob Bronowski
