"My flights of fancy in explaining why I voted for research will be even more inspired, Mr President, for I am in favour, very much in favour of research. But what are we searching for? I feel that we should emulate Orlando in Ludovico Ariosto’s opera ‘Orlando Furioso’. Orlando goes to the moon to search for his lost wits. I feel that we too should search for our wits, in other words our minds, the wisdom that humanity has lost. That too is research. It is a difficult project but it is one that should be a high priority in our research activities, for too many people have lost their reason, especially politicians. What is happening in Palestine and Israel at the moment, and not only there, is evidence that our first priority must be to go in search of our lost wits."@en1
