Science Quotes

'Who are we?' And to me that's the essential question that's always been in science fiction. A lot of science fiction stories are - at their very best - evocations of that question.

David Gerrold

There is nothing inherently wrong about science.
Douglas Preston

The question, 'How well does one read?' is a bad question... essentially unanswerable. A more proper question is 'How well does one read poetry, or history, or science, or religion?'

Gene Luen Yang
-
What I see in science is a lot of imagination referring to things that are fundamental to what we are. Our cells, our history, our future, our place in the universe, our lack of place in the universe. That's poetry as far as I'm concerned.
Alex Garland

Again men have been kept back as by a kind of enchantment from progress in science by reverence for antiquity, by the authority of men counted great in philosophy, and then by general consent.
Francis Bacon
