Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. --Marie Curie (in The Most Beautiful Science of the Year)

Whenever we look at life, we look at networks. --Fritjof Capra (in The Systems View of Life)

Life is often more complex than the stories we like to tell about it. --Daniel Kahneman (in Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgement)
