Discovery Quotes
-
For me, the act of photography is all about discovery and finding new things.
Alec Soth
-
The greatest discovery in life is self-discovery. Until you find yourself you will always be someone else. Become yourself.
Myles Munroe
-
The process of writing can be a powerful tool for self-discovery. Writing demands self-knowledge; it forces the writer to become a student of human nature, to pay attention to his experience, to understand the nature of experience itself. By delving into raw experience and distilling it into a work of art, the writer is engaging in the heart and soul of philosophy - making sense out of life.
Georg Buhler
-
Again and again, the key to a great discovery has been an unexpected observation.
Cyril Norman Hinshelwood
-
Observation... is the pitiless critic of theory; it detects weak points, and provokes reforms which may be the beginnings of discovery.
Agnes Mary Clerke
-
I am convinced that we as adults must constantly cling to, affirm, and celebrate with our children those things we love, sunsets, laughter, the taste of a good meal, the warmth of a hickory fire shared by real friends, the joy of discovery and accomplishment, the constant surprises of life.
Eliot Wigginton
-
The man who is striving to solve a problem defined by existing knowledge and technique is not, however, just looking around. He knows what he wants to achieve, and he designs his instruments and directs his thoughts accordingly. Unanticipated novelty, the new discovery, can emerge only to the extent that his anticipations about nature and his instruments prove wrong... There is no other effective way in which discoveries might be generated.
Thomas Kuhn
-
Reasoning is compared to understanding as movement is to rest, or acquisition to possession.... Since movement always proceeds from something immovable, and ends in something at rest, hence it is that human reasoning, in the order of inquiry and discovery, proceeds from certain things absolutely understood--namely, the first principles; and, again, in the order of judgment, returns by analysis to first principles, in the light of which it examines what it has found. Now it is clear that rest and movement are not to be referred to different powers, but to one and the same.
Thomas Aquinas
-
Even before the discovery of copper South Australia had turned the corner.
Catherine Helen Spence
-
It is possible that a scientific discovery will be made that humans will later regret because it has awful consequences. The problem is, we probably would not know in advance and, once the discovery is made, it cannot be undiscovered.
Paul Davies
-
Things changed with the discovery of neutron stars and black holes - objects with gravitational fields so intense that dramatic space and time-warping effects occur.
Paul Davies
-
We are lucky to live in an age in which we are still making discoveries.
Richard Feynman
