Science Quotes
-
It may be that everything the life science companies are telling us will turn out to be right, and there's no problem here whatsoever. That defies logic.
Jeremy Rifkin
-
One of the questions on which clarity of thinking is now most necessary is that of the relation between the methods of science and of Marxist philosophy. Although much has already been written on the subject, yet there is still an enormous amount of confusion and contradictory statement.
John Desmond Bernal
-
You can hardly convince a man of an error in a lifetime, but must content yourself with the reflection that the progress of science is slow. If he is not convinced, his grandchildren may be.
Henry David Thoreau
-
Science repulses the indefinite.
Claude Bernard

Now, the reason that we think computer science is about computers is pretty much the same reason that the Egyptians thought geometry was about surveying instruments. And that is, when some field is just getting started and you don't really understand it very well, it's very easy to confuse the essence of what you're doing with the tools that you use.
Hal Abelson
-

As for my studies in school, I was a solid student. I was strong in English and Latin, but I got lost anytime the subject included math.
