Quotes from Claude Levi-Strauss

The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he's one who asks the right questions.

The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he is one who asks the right questions.

The wise man doesn't give the right answers, he poses the right questions.

The world began without man, and it will complete itself without him.

The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he's one who asks the right questions.

Our students wanted to know everything: but only the newest theory seemed to them worth bothering with. Knowing nothing of the intellectual achievements of the past, they kept fresh and intact their enthusiasm for 'the latest thing'. Fashion dominated their interest: they valued ideas not for themselves but for the prestige that they could wring from them.

Not all poisonous juices are burning or bitter nor is everything which is burning and bitter poisonous.

The world began without man, and it will complete itself without him.

The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions.
