Science Quotes by Marguerite Yourcenar (1)

When two texts, or two assertions, perhaps two ideas, are in contradiction, be ready to reconcile them rather than cancel one by the other; regard them as two different facets, or two successive stages, of the same reality, a reality convincingly human just because it is too complex.
— Marguerite Yourcenar
In Gary William Flake, The Computational Beauty of Nature (2000), 427.
