«La science, mon garçon, est faite d'erreurs, mais d'erreurs qu'il est bon de commettre, car elles mènent peu à peu à la vérité.» -- le professeur Otto Lidenbrock, dans le roman Voyage au Centre de la Terre, par Jules Verne

"Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth." -- Professor Otto Liedenbrock, in the novel Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, translated by Frederick Amadeus Malleson
