Percival Lowell Quotes

Imagination is as vital to any advance in science as learning and precision are essential for starting points. Let me warn you to beware of two opposite errors: of letting your imagination soar unballasted by facts, but on the other hand, of shackling it so solidly that it loses all incentive to rise Picture Quote #1

If astronomy teaches anything, it teaches that man is but a detail in the evolution of the universe, and the resemblant though diverse details are inevitably to be expected in the hosts of orbs around him. He learns that, though he will probably never find his double anywhere, he is destined to discover any number of cousins scattered through space Picture Quote #1

Bright points in the sky or a blow on the head will equally cause one to see stars Picture Quote #1

Now when we think that each of these stars is probably the centre of a solar system grander than our own, we cannot seriously take ourselves to be the only minds in it all Picture Quote #1

The whole object of science is to synthesize, and so simplify; and did we but know the uttermost of a subject we could make it singularly clear Picture Quote #1

War is a survival among us from savage times and affects now chiefly the boyish and unthinking element of the nation Picture Quote #1
