This is misattributed to Pasteur in multiple sources. Usually used as a proof that he had recanted germ theory, but also appears in scientific literature. Actual quote is from Claude Bernard, a contemporary of Pasteur who disagreed with germ theory. "The Terrain Within: A Naturalistic Way to Think" (2012). "Louis Pasteur, and the Myth of Pasteurization" (2013).

My project was retarded by laws of nature. The world was not prepared for it. It was too far ahead of time, but the same laws will prevail in the end and make it a triumphal success.
