Quote by Simon van der Meer

"Particle physics is a humbling subject. The universe is far more complex than our theories."

"In science, we must always be willing to be proven wrong."

"The pursuit of knowledge is the noblest of all human endeavors."

"We are all made of stardust, connected to the cosmos."

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
