Science Quotes

You don’t need a science degree to understand about science. You just need to think about it Picture Quote #1

Science is no substitute for virtue; the heart is as necessary for a good life as the head Picture Quote #1

Some of the greatest, most revolutionary advances in science have been given their initial expression in attractively modest terms, with no fanfare Picture Quote #1

$No one who has understood even a fraction of what science has told us about the universe can fail to be in awe of both the cosmos and of science Picture Quote #1$

The roads of science are narrow, so that they who travel them, must wither follow or meet one another Picture Quote #1

What men of science want is only a fair day’s wages for more than a fair day’s work Picture Quote #1

My belief is that science is to wreck us, and that we are like monkeys monkeying with a loaded shell; we don’t in the least know or care where our practically infinite energies come from or will bring us to Picture Quote #1

There can be no ultimate statements science: there can be no statements in science which can not be tested, and therefore none which cannot in principle be refuted, by falsifying some of the conclusions which can be deduced from them Picture Quote #1

It is the rule which says that the other rules of scientific procedure must be designed in such a way that they do not protect any statement in science against falsification Picture Quote #1

Statistics is a science which ought to be honourable, the basis of many most important sciences; but it is not to be carried on by steam, this science, any more than others are; a wise head is requisite for carrying it on Picture Quote #1

Science has revealed that the human body is made up of millions and millions of atoms... For example, I am made up of 5.8x10^27 atoms Picture Quote #1

Science and fiction both begin with similar questions: What if? Why? How does it all work? But they focus on different areas of life on earth Picture Quote #1

Science is a tool, and we invent tools to do things we want. It’s a question of how those tools are used by people Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been on the side of science that tries to help man. I play an active part with the foundations I’m involved in. Science gives hope Picture Quote #1

Science has been quite embattled. It’s the most important thing there is. An arts graduate is not going to fix global warming. They may do other valuable things, but they are not going to fix the planet or cure cancer or get rid of malaria Picture Quote #1

No one has proof that I know of, that a higher power exists, yet a major portion of the world believes in it and relies on it in faith in trust, in what that is. Where is the science in that? And yet you have incredible belief in that Picture Quote #1

Science investigates, religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power, religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts, religion deals with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary. Science keeps religion from singing into the valley of crippling irrationalism and paralyzingly obscurantism. Religion prevents science from falling into the marsh of obsolete materialism and moral nihilism Picture Quote #1

There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define; we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit Picture Quote #1

The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach Picture Quote #1

We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces Picture Quote #1

There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever Picture Quote #1

I’m afraid for all those who’ll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them! Picture Quote #1

Poetry is not the proper antithesis to prose, but to science. Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to meter. The proper and immediate object of science is the acquirement, or communication of truth; the proper and immediate object of poetry is the communication of immediate pleasure Picture Quote #1

Criticism is often not a science; it is a craft, requiring more good health than wit, more hard work than talent, more habit than native genius. In the hands of a man who has read widely but lacks judgment, applied to certain subjects it can corrupt both its readers and the writer himself Picture Quote #1

When I first collected these authorities, I was desirous that every quotation should be useful to some other end than the illustration of a word; I therefore extracted from philosophers principles of science; from historians remarkable facts; from chymists complete processes; from divines striking exhortations; and from poets beautiful descriptions Picture Quote #1

Medical science has oppressed us with a new huge burden of longevity. It is in that last undesired decade, when passion is cold, appetites feeble, curiosity dulled and experience has begotten cynicism, that accidia lies in wait as the final temptation to destruction Picture Quote #1

Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it’s the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself... Science fiction is central to everything we’ve ever done, and people who make fun of science fiction writers don’t know what they’re talking about Picture Quote #1

Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born Picture Quote #1

It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair Picture Quote #1

Science and art are only too often a superior kind of dope, possessing this advantage over booze and morphia: that they can be indulged in with a good conscience and with the conviction that, in the process of indulging, one is leading the higher life Picture Quote #1
