Scientists Quotes
-
Beyond the Einsteins and Darwins, most scientists don't have chroniclers. Einstein and Darwin were geniuses - that helps. Many scientists do amazing stuff, but it just disappears into footnotes and dusty medical journals. If I were masochistic enough, I could spend the rest of my life rescuing scientists. Most of them aren't natural self-promoters.
Deborah Blum
-
Color does to me what the touch of the earth did to the giant Antaeus - sends new life, vitality, courage, initiative surging through me. Sometime the scientists will discover that color is a renewer of life.
Emilie Loring
-
We look like we're just crybabies, ... And the world out there is not sympathetic to government scientists who make more money than the vice president of the United States. Let's get real.
Elias Zerhouni
-
Over the past fifty years or so, scientists have allowed the conventions of expression available to them to become entirely too confining.
David Mermin
-
My nonviolence is made of stern stuff. It is firmer than the firmest metal known to scientists.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
Philosophers often think all scientists must be scientific realists. If you ask a simple question like "Are electrons real?" the answer will be "Yes". But if your questions are less superficial, for example whether some well-known scientist was a good scientist. Then, they had insisted that only empirical criteria matter and that they actually did not believe in the reality of sub-atomic entities. Ask "If that turned out to be true, would you still say they were good scientists?" The answer would reveal something about how they themselves understood what it is to be a scientist.
Bastiaan van Fraassen
-
Scientists, to give them credit, do not think of the humanities in a negative way. It's the bureaucrats who want to cut costs who think, Well, here's something that's not booming at the moment, let's slash it.
Brian Boyd
-
Everybody thinks scientists are cold and rational. The truth is that nothing could be more passionate than the search for scientific discoveries that break down barriers and change paradigms of thinking. Working with these artists was such an amazing experience that opened us up in ways we could never guess. We found that we had so much in common.
B. R. Hayden
-
One should not wrongly reify 'cause' and 'effect,' as the natural scientists do (and whoever, like them, now 'naturalizes' in his thinking), according to the prevailing mechanical doltishness which makes the cause press and push until it 'effects' its end; one should use 'cause' and 'effect' only as pure concepts, that is to say, as conventional fictions for the purpose of designation and communication-not for explanation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Scientists and artists are both living in the cultural milieu that they come up in. They're always responding to what is happening culturally.
Adam Frank
-
I would love to see music reinstated as an essential part of schooling. The culture that it brings; the knowledge that it brings. Just learning how to read music requires metrics, and I think that helps you with mathematics. A lot of scientists and doctors have a musical background - it's very interesting.
Benjamin Carson
-
It must be, for there is a logic to everything on this earth and nothing is done without a reason, that God sometimes lets scientists discover.
Jules Verne
