"The redistribution of knowledge could be as important as the redistribution of wealth. Science continuously offers us knowledge. Technology helps us to produce well-being and wealth. Science becomes marginalized and non-productive without technology, and technology would die without science for lack of sustenance. Any appropriate technology that fails to combat poverty can never be called "appropriate." Science without conscience is a blow to the soul. Let's be protagonists of the future rather than simple spectators."

- Paolo Lugari
