Science 202 "Unlike Koch or Leeuwenhoek, who were great because they knew how to ask questions... Metchnikoff read books...was inspired, shouted “Yes!” and then by vast, sloppy experiments proceeded to force his beliefs down nature’s throat...some times he was right." DeKruif, Microbe Hunters.
Science 211 "...it is the drama of science that [the plain people] can understand...." DeKruif, Microbe Hunters.
Science 214 "...the stumbling strides of microbe hunters are not made by any perfect logic...." DeKruif, Microbe Hunters.
Science 217 "But the pitiful waste of this brainy Metchnikoff’s life was that he was always doing experiments to defend an idea, and not to find the hidden truths of nature." DeKruif, Microbe Hunters.
Science 222 "Metchnikoff --contrary facts never worried him." DeKruif, Microbe Hunters.
