Science Quotes
-
What is it with science these days? Everyone is so quick to believe in it, in all these new scientific discoveries, new pills for this, new pills for that. Get thinner, grow hair, yada, yada, yada, but when it requires a little faith in something you all go crazy.' He shook his head, 'If miracles had chemical equations then everyone would believe.
Cecelia Ahern -
I felt strongly that since the pursuit of good science was so difficult it was essential that the problem being studied was an important one to justify the effort expanded.
Paul Nurse
-
Science deals exclusively with things as they are in themselves; and art exclusively with things as they affect the human sense and human soul.
John Ruskin -
It is a tremendously hard thing to pray aright, yea, it is verily the science of all sciences.
Martin Luther -
I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.
Richard Feynman -
The nineteenth century will ever be known as the one in which the influences of science were first fully realised in civilised communities; the scientific progress was so gigantic that it seems rash to predict that any of its successors can be more important in the life of any nation.
Norman Lockyer -
What I am going to tell you about is what we teach our physics students in the third or fourth year of graduate school... It is my task to convince you not to turn away because you don't understand it. You see my physics students don't understand it... That is because I don't understand it. Nobody does.
Richard Feynman -
There is a science of war, but how strange that there isn't a science of peace. There are colleges of war; why can’t we study peace?
Audrey Hepburn
-
That is the logical tight-rope on which we have to walk if we wish to interpret nature.
Richard Feynman -
Without consciousness the mind-body problem would be much less interesting. With consciousness it seems hopeless.
Thomas Nagel -
Technological prescience in science fiction usually requires an author with luck. Societal prescience requires a poet.
Heidi Hammel -
I have watched all the work going on there, and the more I see of it the more I am convinced that Mendelism has nothing to do with evolution.
Ernest MacBride -
Science and psychology have isolated the one prime cause for success or failure in life. It is the hidden self-image you have of yourself.
Bob Proctor -
We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
Richard Feynman
-
Whence come I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question. Science has no answer to it.
Erwin Schrodinger -
We can and should place special emphasis on developing in our youth constructive incentives — a love of science, engineering, and math, so that they will want to take advanced scientific courses and thereby help meet the needs of our times.
Ezra Taft Benson -
Science always has its origin in the adaptation of thought to some definite field of experience.
Ernst Mach -
I think that physics is the most important-indeed the only-means we have of finding out the origins and fundamentals of our universe, and this is what interests me most about it. I believe that as science advances religion necessarily recedes, and this is a process I wish to encourage, because I consider that, on the whole, the influence of religion is malign.
William B. Bonnor -
I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.
Richard Feynman -
Oh, I assure you, science is anything but boring.
Ben Miller
-
Bohr’s standpoint, that a space-time description is impossible, I reject a limine. Physics does not consist only of atomic research, science does not consist only of physics, and life does not consist only of science. The aim of atomic research is to fit our empirical knowledge concerning it into our other thinking. All of this other thinking, so far as it concerns the outer world, is active in space and time. If it cannot be fitted into space and time, then it fails in its whole aim and one does not know what purpose it really serves.
Erwin Schrodinger -
The wrongs of society can be more deeply impressed on a large class of readers in the form of fiction than by essays, sermons, or the facts of science.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton -
Science can make a heart beat. But it can’t make it race.
Beth Revis -
In science, address the few, in literature the many. In science, the few must dictate opinion to the many; in literature, the many, sooner or later, force their judgement on the few.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
