Primo Levi Quotes

That The Nobility Of Man, Acquired In A Hundred Centuries Of Trial And Error, Lay In Making Himself The Conquerer Of Matter, And That I Had Enrolled In Chemistry Because I Wanted To Maintain Faithful To That Nobility. That Conquering Matter Is To Understand It, And Understanding Matter Is Necessary To Understanding The Universe And Ourselves: And That Therefore Mendeleev's Periodic Table, Which Just During Those Weeks We Were Laboriously Learning To Unravel, Was Poetry, Loftier And More Solemn Than All The Poetry We Had Swallowed Doen In Liceo; And Come To Think Of It, It Even Rhymed! ...
[T]he Chemistry And Physics On Which We Fed, Besides Being In Themselves Nourishments Vital In Themselves, Were The Antidotes To Fascism ... Because They Were Clear And Distinct And Verifiable At Every Step, And Not A Tissue Of Lies And Emptiness Like The Radio And Newspapers.
