„It struck me as remarkable that people answer questions about the values of science in two quite opposite ways today. On the one hand, they often praise science for being value-free: objective, unbiased, neutral, a pure source of facts. Just as often, however, they speak of it as being itself a source of values, perhaps indeed the only true source of them.“
