Rodney A. Brooks Quote

My mission soon turned into a labor of love, with emphasis on labor. I had not anticipated the breadth and depth of the subject, or the drama as our greatest minds waged what I think is our greatest battle: to understand the world we find ourselves in (a far more worthy battle than the wars we are so good at waging against each other). By drama I mean not only the philosophic struggle to wrest nature's secrets from their most hidden recesses with only the flimsiest of evidence; I also mean the human side of the story - stories that are sometimes tragic, sometimes nettlesome, but always fascinating.
