There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors.
- J. Robert Oppenheimer in 'Life' October 10, 1949

I think a more ominous of Oppenheimer's quotes was "I have become death, the destroyer of worlds." But according to eye-witness accounts, his first words after the successfull trinity test was "It worked!"
