Image
The universe is asymmetric and I am persuaded that life, as it is known to us, is a direct result of the asymmetry of the universe or of its indirect consequences. The universe is asymmetric.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Intuition is given only to him who has undergone long preparation to receive it.
Louis Pasteur
Image
No, there is now no circumstance known in which it can be affirmed that microscopic beings came into the world without germs, without parents similar to themselves. Those who affirm it have been duped by illusions, by ill-conducted experiments, spoilt by errors that they either did not perceive or did not know how to avoid.
Louis Pasteur
Image
One does not ask of one who suffers: What is your country and what is your religion? One merely says: You suffer, that is enough for me.
Louis Pasteur
Image

My opinion - nay more, my conviction - is that, in the present state of science, as you rightly say, spontaneous generation is a chimera and it would be impossible for you to contradict me, for my experiments all stand forth to prove that spontaneous generation is a chimera.
Louis Pasteur

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.
Louis Pasteur
Image
If science has no country, the scientist should have one, and ascribe to it the influence which his works may have in this world.
Louis Pasteur
Image
It is not the germs we need worry about. It is our inner terrain.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Oh my goodness the mystery that has prompted my objective. My quality lies exclusively in my tirelessness.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Posterity will one day laugh at the sublime foolishness of the modern materialistic philosophy. The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. I pray while I am engaged at my work in the laboratory.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Whether our efforts are, or not, favored by life, let us be able to say, when we come near to the great goal, I have done what I could.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Since the most ancient times, all men, and particularly those who endeavored in the practice of medicine, have brought closer together two natural phenomena of capital importance: illness or fever and fermentation.
Louis Pasteur
Image
If it is a terrifying thought that life is at the mercy of the multiplication of these minute bodies [microbes], it is a consoling hope that Science will not always remain powerless before such enemies.
Louis Pasteur
Image
The grandeur of the acts of men are measured by the inspiration from which they spring. Happy is he who bears a God within.
