Scientific Quotes

Crying purifies and cleanses. I once read about a scientific experiment which demonstrated that there are 38 toxic chemicals in a tear of sadness, while only one toxin exists in a tear of joy. As you cry in sadness, fear, or confusion, you cleanse the body and spirit of toxins which cloud the mind and prevent it from accepting the truth Picture Quote #1

We live in a scientific age, yet we assume that knowledge of science is the prerogative of only a small number of human beings, isolated and priestlike in their laboratories. This is not true. The materials of science are the materials of life itself. Science is part of the reality of living; it is the way, the how and the why for everything in our experience Picture Quote #1

These disturbing phenomena [Extra Sensory Perception] seem to deny all our scientific ideas. How we should like to discredit them! Unfortunately the statistical evidence, at least for telepathy, is overwhelming Picture Quote #1

My choice of colors does not rest on any scientific theory; it is based on observation, on feeling, on the experience of my sensibility. Inspired by certain pages of Delacroix, an artist like Signac is preoccupied with complementary colors, and the theoretical knowledge of them will lead him to use a certain tone in a certain place. But I simply try to put down colors which render my sensation Picture Quote #1

God pity the man of science who believes in nothing but what he can prove by scientific methods; for if ever a human being needed divine pity, he does Picture Quote #1

In the scientific community you find competent teachers and original researchers, just as in the musical community you find many good performers but very few good composers Picture Quote #1

A consensus has emerged in our scientific community that global warming is no longer merely a theory but a reality, a crisis with truly global implications for planet Earth and all of us who share it Picture Quote #1

All my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them Picture Quote #1

Scientific truth is marvelous, but moral truth is divine and whoever breathes its air and walks by its light has found the lost paradise Picture Quote #1

The poets and philosophers before me discovered the unconscious; what I discovered was the scientific method by which the unconscious can be studied Picture Quote #1

From the scientific view, the theory of karma may be a metaphysical assumption - but it is no more so than the assumption that all of life is material and originated out of pure chance Picture Quote #1

A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory Picture Quote #1

It is funny that men who are supposed to be scientific cannot get themselves to realise the basic principle of physics, that action and reaction are equal and opposite, that when you persecute people you always rouse them to be strong and stronger Picture Quote #1

There's no doubt that scientific training helps many authors to write better science fiction. And yet, several of the very best were English majors who could not parse a differential equation to save their lives Picture Quote #1

If you make the same guess often enough it ceases to be a guess and becomes a scientific fact. This is the inductive method Picture Quote #1

My choice of colours does not rest on any scientific theory: it is based on observation, on sensitivity, on felt experience Picture Quote #1

We profess to teach the principles and practice of medicine, or, in other words, the science and art of medicine. Science is knowledge reduced to principles; art is knowledge reduced to practice. The knowing and doing, however, are distinct... Your knowledge, therefore, is useless unless you cultivate the art of healing. Unfortunately, the scientific man very often has the least amount of art, and he is totally unsuccessful in practice; and, on the other hand, there may be much art based on an infinitesimal amount of knowledge, and yet it is sufficient to make its cultivator eminent Picture Quote #1

Some people would claim that things like love, joy and beauty belong to a different category from science and can’t be described in scientific terms, but I think they can now be explained by the theory of evolution Picture Quote #1

By harmony all phenomena are formed and sustained. There is a scientific statement to the effect that this earth is a vast harmonic wave system that is built and sustained by unheard music Picture Quote #1

I do not know whether any of this is true. I am certain that the scientific community does not know that it is false Picture Quote #1

While science has nothing of value to say on the great and aching questions of life, death, love and meaning, what the religious traditions of mankind have said forms a coherent body of thought... There is recompense for suffering. A principle beyond selfishness is at work in the cosmos... I do not know whether any of this is true. I am certain that the scientific community does not know that it is false Picture Quote #1

Cut through the ridicule and search for factual information in most of the skeptical commentary and one is usually left with nothing. This is not surprising. After all, how can one rationally object to a call for scientific examination of evidence? Be skeptical of the skeptics Picture Quote #1

The stumbling way in which even the ablest of the scientists in every generation have had to fight through thickets of erroneous observations, misleading generalizations, inadequate formulation, and unconscious prejudice is rarely appreciated by those who obtain their scientific knowledge from textbooks Picture Quote #1

No human investigation can claim to be scientific if it doesn’t pass the test of mathematical proof Picture Quote #1

Whenever we pride ourselves upon finding a newer, stricter way of thought or exposition? we lose something of the ability to think new thoughts. And equally, of course, whenever we rebel against the sterile rigidity of formal thought and exposition and let our ideas run wild, we likewise lose. As I see it, the advances in scientific thought come from a combination of lose and strict thinking, and this combination is the most precious tool of science Picture Quote #1
