Quotes About Researchers

J'attends avec impatience le jour où les chercheurs se rendront compte que, dans les mythes, ils ont affaire aux mêmes thèmes que dans la chasse aux sorcières, structurés de la même façon et faussement perçus comme indéchiffrables.
~ Rene Girard
Finally, we thank the San people themselves for their unfailing hospitality (after their own fashion) toward more than a dozen researchers over as many years. We have all come to appreciate their cheerfulness in the face of adversity, their peculiar sense of humor, and their fierce egalitarianism.
~ Richard B. Lee
The loss of a great library to fire is a tragedy. But the surreptitious introduction of thousands of untraceable errors into reliable books, errors picked up and distributed endlessly by tireless researchers, is a nightmare beyond measure.

Josie suffers from a very rare disease, he said. It's caused by a genetic mutation. But the good news is that researchers are working on a gene therapy that could correct the mutation. It's still in the experimental stage, but there's a good chance it'll work. If it does, Josie could be cured. And I wondered, as I often did these days, whether Artificial Friends could help with such work.
~ Kazuo Ishiguro
scientists, often Jewish themselves, to aver that Jews possess deeply rooted genetic affinities that distinguish them from other groups.

One of the most prominent researchers of Jewish genetics
~ David N. Myers

~ Jeff Vandermeer
Disease mongering cannot occur in a vacuum—it requires that the drug companies engage the active collaboration of the doctors who write the prescriptions, the patients who ask for them, the researchers who invent the new mental disorders, the consumer groups that advocate for more treatment, and the media and Internet that spread the word.

~ Dan Rather
Together, Duncan Campbell and James Bamford confirmed a fundamental truth: that there are no secrets, only lazy researchers.
~ Richard J. Aldrich
Medical researchers know that every innovative therapy produces its best results when new, and some therapies only produce results when new. For instance, the once-touted cancer cure, Krebiozen produced several notable cures in its early days, but nobody has reported any cures with Krebiozen in around 30 years now. In cases of this sort, the enthusiasm of the researchers somehow communicates itself to the patients, who then give themselves permission to get well.
~ Robert Anton Wilson
It wasn't big news, but it was a big iceberg. Researchers joked about moving onto it and declaring it a new nation. It contained more fresh water than all the Great Lakes combined. It had come off near a Roosevelt Island
~ Kim Stanley Robinson
It is well known to researchers of nature that one cannot perform even the slightest movement without motivation, meaning without somehow benefiting oneself. When, for example, one moves ones hand from the chair to the table it is because one thinks that by putting ones hand on the table one will thus receive greater pleasure. If one would not think so, one would leave one's hand on the chair for the rest of one's life without moving it an inch, all the more so concerning greater efforts.
~ Yehuda Ashlag

~ Debbie Nathan
It's clear that policymakers and economists are going to be interested in the measurement of well-being primarily as it correlates with health; they also want to know whether researchers can validate subjective responses with physiological indices.
~ Daniel Kahneman
It is a central obligation of politicians as well as journalists, researchers, scientists, and academicians to inform the public of the truth, and to identify lies without fear of retribution. It is the civic responsibility of all of us to check the facts we read or hear, to find and depend upon reliable sources, to share the truth with others, and hold accountable those who lie to us or suppress the truth.
~ Robert B Reich
Do you consider yourself a helpful person?" Following brief reflection, nearly everyone answered yes. In that privileged moment—after subjects had confirmed privately and affirmed publicly their helpful natures—the researchers pounced, requesting help with their survey. Now 77.3 percent volunteered.
~ Robert B. Cialdini
Some researchers had even concluded that the effort to understand the brain was necessarily doomed—that consciousness cannot comprehend consciousness any more than a box may contain itself. "This
~ Robert Charles Wilson

Some early approaches were deeply principled, but the associated programs made assumptions about hardware that were no longer valid a few years later; readers, looking first at the details of implementation, said "Oh, this is old stuff - it's not relevant to us at all", and missed the still important ideas of the research. All too frequently, too, researchers have simply reinvented things known in other disciplines for years.
~ Andries van Dam
