Science Quotes by Rémy Louis Carle (1 quote)
You don’t ask the frogs when you drain the marsh.
— Rémy Louis Carle
a director of Electricite de France, when asked if the public was consulted on the siting of a nuclear power station, in The Guardian, 1986.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
