I've only actively promoted what we always hope is good science. Elizabeth Blackburn.

We're losing track of the vastness of the potential for computer science. We really have to revive the beautiful intellectual joy of it, as opposed to the business potential. Jaron Lanier

Inanimate objects can be classified scientifically into three major categories; those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost. Russell Baker

There are no shortcuts in evolution. Louis D. Brandeis

I majored in Computer Science at U.C. Berkeley and worked as a software developer for a couple of years. Then I taught high school computer science for over a decade and a half in Oakland, California. Gene Luen Yang

Every known fact in natural science was divined by the presentiment of somebody, before it was actually verified. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art. Will Durant

There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it. Louis Pasteur

Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian. Elon Musk

I cannot stress often enough that what science is all about is not proving things to be true but proving them to be false. Lawrence M. Krauss

The greatest advances of civilization, whether in architecture or painting, in science and literature, in industry or agriculture, have never come from centralized government. Milton Friedman

Before I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others. Stephen Hawking

Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. Edsger Dijkstra

Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind. Imre Lakatos

The whole of science, and one is tempted to think the whole of the life of any thinking man, is trying to come to terms with the relationship between yourself and the natural world. Why are you here, and how do you fit in, and what's it all about. David Attenborough

Leaders in China and India realize that science and technology lead to success and wealth. But many countries in the West graduate students into the unemployment line by teaching skills that were necessary to live in 1950. Michio Kaku

The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion. Arnold H. Glasow

English is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe that in two decades times original works of science will start coming out in our languages. Then we can move over like the Japanese. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10. Neil Armstrong

Science is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. It's posing questions and coming up with a method. It's delving in. Sally Ride

To move forward, what's required is a unified space agenda based on exploration, science, development, commerce, and security. Buzz Aldrin

In life sciences, we find a reasonable balance between men and women. In engineering and computer science, we have a major problem. A very small percentage of women will be in computer science. Freeman A. Hrabowski III

Chastity is the cement of civilization and progress. Without it there is no stability in society, and without it one cannot attain the Science of Life. Mary Baker Eddy

My point has always been that, ever since the Industrial Revolution, science fiction has been the most important genre there is. Iain Banks

The mineral world is a much more supple and mobile world than could be imagined by the science of the ancients. Vaguely analogous to the metamorphoses of living creatures, there occurs in the most solid rocks, as we now know, perpetual transformation of a mineral species. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

We will explore the mysteries of science and harness the power of technology and innovation. We will realise the opportunities of the digital world. Our youth will learn more from - and with - each other. Narendra Modi

The true teachers and educators are not those who have learned pedagogy as the science of dealing with children, but those in whom pedagogy has awakened through understanding the human being. Rudolf Steiner

If even in science there is no a way of judging a theory but by assessing the number, faith and vocal energy of its supporters, then this must be even more so in the social sciences: truth lies in power. Imre Lakatos

All my mind was centered on my studies, which, especially at the beginning, were difficult. In fact, I was insufficiently prepared to follow the physical science course at the Sorbonne, for, despite all my efforts, I had not succeeded in acquiring in Poland a preparation as complete as that of the French students following the same course. Marie Curie

We live in this world in order always to learn industriously and to enlighten each other by means of discussion and to strive vigorously to promote the progress of science and the fine arts. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The historian of science may be tempted to exclaim that when paradigms change, the world itself changes with them. Thomas Kuhn

What I'm working on now - I'm back to fantasy, although considering that it's me, I'm turning it into a kind of science fantasy. It's a vampire story - but my vampires are biological vampires. They didn't become vampires because someone bit them; they were born that way. Octavia Butler

Goethe died in 1832. As you know, Goethe was very active in science. In fact, he did some very good scientific work in plant morphology and mineralogy. But he was quite bitter at the way in which many scientists refused to grant him a hearing because he was a poet and therefore, they felt, he couldn't be serious. Stephen Jay Gould

The ever quickening advances of science made possible by the success of the Human Genome Project will also soon let us see the essences of mental disease. Only after we understand them at the genetic level can we rationally seek out appropriate therapies for such illnesses as schizophrenia and bipolar disease. James D. Watson

We tried war, we tried aggression, we tried intervention. None of it works. Why don't we try peace, as a science of human relations, not as some vague notion - as everyday work. Dennis Kucinich

Luckily, unreasonable expectations go hand in hand with naive young scientists. The more naive the better - otherwise we would never have the audacity to try and build a 22,000-mile-high space elevator or some sprawling underwater hotel. Daniel H. Wilson

Leave the atom alone. E. Y. Harburg

Raising children is a creative endeavor, an art rather than a science. Bruno Bettelheim

I am honorary President of the American Humanist Society, having succeeded the late, great science fiction writer Isaac Asimov in that utterly functionless capacity. We Humanists behave as well as we can, without any rewards or punishments in an Afterlife. Kurt Vonnegut

Globalisation means many other countries are asserting themselves and trying to take over leadership. Please don't ask Americans to let others assume the leadership of human exploration. We can do wonderful science on the Moon, and wonderful commercial things. Then we can pack up and move on to Mars. Buzz Aldrin

The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief... that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart. Walter Lippmann

To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, how little science knows, about building it. Every day, parents and teachers ask me, 'How do I build grit in kids? What do I do to teach kids a solid work ethic? How do I keep them motivated for the long run?' The honest answer is, I don't know. Angela Duckworth

Science may provide the most useful way to organize empirical, reproducible data, but its power to do so is predicated on its inability to grasp the most central aspects of human life: hope, fear, love, hate, beauty, envy, honor, weakness, striving, suffering, virtue. Paul Kalanithi

We think scientific literacy flows out of how many science facts can you recite rather than how was your brain wired for thinking. And it's the brain wiring that I'm more interested in rather than the facts that come out of the curriculum or the lesson plan that's been proposed. Neil deGrasse Tyson

We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming. Wernher von Braun

Most kids at 10 or 11 love science, but I never outgrew it. Nancy Roman

After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it. Marie Curie

The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms. Albert Einstein

Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true. Niels Bohr

Yoga is an art and science of living. Indra Devi

We must learn to set our emotions aside and embrace what science tells us. GMOs and nuclear power are two of the most effective and most important green technologies we have. If - after looking at the data - you aren't in favour of using them responsibly, you aren't an environmentalist. Ramez Naam

It is the function of science to discover the existence of a general reign of order in nature and to find the causes governing this order. And this refers in equal measure to the relations of man - social and political - and to the entire universe as a whole. Dmitri Mendeleev

There are times when we are just not very kind to ourselves. The problem with our negative thoughts is that the latest science has revealed that thoughts are very powerful, even impacting us physically. Elizabeth Thornton

There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the later ignorance. Hippocrates

All science is based on models, and every scientific model comprises three distinct stages: statement of well-defined hypotheses; deduction of all the consequences of these hypotheses, and nothing but these consequences; confrontation of these consequences with observed data. Maurice Allais

Some dreamers demand that scientists only discover things that can be used for good. John Charles Polanyi

To reap the benefits of GMO technology, the U.S. must ensure that decisions about our food system are made based on science, not innuendo. Mike Pompeo

Geologists have a saying - rocks remember. Neil Armstrong

Almost half our representatives in Washington apparently know more about science than our scientists. Or they pretend to, because big corporations give them a lot of money to make sure they can keep doing the destructive things that they do. Jimmy Kimmel

To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population. Thomas Babington Macaulay

We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry. Maria Mitchell

I can say, 'Well, I'm a male. I'm a male human. I'm a medical doctor. I'm an author...' If I go to a religious point of view, I will say, 'I am a soul. I am a spirit.' If I go into science, I will say, 'I am energy. I am light.' But the truth is I have no idea what I am. Don Miguel Ruiz

I have always loved science fiction. One of my favorite shows is 'Star Trek.' I like the trips, where it drops my mind off, because they give you a premise and all of a sudden, you say, 'Oh!' and I'm fascinated by it. Leslie Nielsen

We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity. Margaret J. Wheatley

You should never bet against anything in science at odds of more than about 1012 to 1. Ernest Rutherford

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology. Carl Sagan

The people I really do dislike are the morally unimaginative kind of evolutionary reductionists who, in the name of science, think they can explain everything in terms of our early hominid ancestors or our genes, with their combination of high-handed tone and disregard for history. Such reductive speculation encourages a really empty scientism. Bernard Williams

But the first the general public learned about the discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb. A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction. Joseph Rotblat

There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere. Isaac Asimov

I think science fiction helps us think about possibilities, to speculate - it helps us look at our society from a different perspective. It lets us look at our mores, using science as the backdrop, as the game changer. Mae Jemison

When I was in elementary school, I was very interested in science already. I must have been ten or eleven years old. I started experiments with chemistry sets at my home in Mexico. I was able to borrow a bathroom and convert it to a laboratory. My parents supported it. They were pleased. My friends just tolerated it. Mario J. Molina

I think it is important to have a balance of science and arts to be able to be accessible in either fields. Ann Makosinski

Science means constantly walking a tightrope between blind faith and curiosity; between expertise and creativity; between bias and openness; between experience and epiphany; between ambition and passion; and between arrogance and conviction - in short, between an old today and a new tomorrow. Heinrich Rohrer

When I was younger, I was an avid science girl. I was all about, 'I'm going to be a doctor.' Even when I graduated, I was like, 'I'm going to be a doctor.' Even though I did acting and I was in plays and drama clubs in high school and college, I still didn't think I was going to take it on as a career. Retta

As long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost and science can never regress. Marcel Proust

One of the pleasing things about science is that we do all climb towards the heavens on the shoulders of our predecessors. Economics, like physics, has its heroes, and the letter 'H' that I used in my mathematical equations was not there to honor Sir William Hamilton, but rather Harold Hotelling. Paul Samuelson

It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young. Konrad Lorenz

It was just like a digital fixation with cards and math and science and then I started to look at images of great magicians from Houdini down the line. David Blaine

Evolution is the fundamental idea in all of life science - in all of biology. Bill Nye

God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator. Stephen Hawking

History is, in its essentials, the science of change. It knows and it teaches that it is impossible to find two events that are ever exactly alike, because the conditions from which they spring are never identical. Marc Bloch

Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. Stephen Hawking

Textbook science is beautiful! Textbook science is comprehensible, unlike mere fascinating words that can never be truly beautiful. Elementary science textbooks describe simple theories, and simplicity is the core of scientific beauty. Fascinating words have no power, nor yet any meaning, without the math. Eliezer Yudkowsky

I strongly believe that fundamental science cannot be driven by instructional, industrial, governmental or military pressures. This was the reason why I decided, as far as possible, not to accept money from the government. C. V. Raman

If I could change the science system, my prescription for changing the whole thing would be organising it around big goals and building teams to do it. Craig Venter

Pursue science because it is knowledge, because it broadens our horizons. There is so much more to be discovered. Gerhard Herzberg

Science does not permit exceptions. Claude Bernard

Predicting has a spotty record in science fiction. I've had some failures. On the other hand, I also predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rise of fundamentalist Islam... and I'm not happy to be right in all of those cases. David Brin

Definition of Statistics: The science of producing unreliable facts from reliable figures. Evan Esar

One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit. Alexander Pope

When high school students ask to spend their afternoons and weekends in my laboratory, I am amazed: I didn't develop that kind of enthusiasm for science until I was 28 years old. Harold E. Varmus

Bad religion is arrogant, self-righteous, dogmatic and intolerant. And so is bad science. But unlike religious fundamentalists, scientific fundamentalists do not realize that their opinions are based on faith. They think they know the truth. Rupert Sheldrake

Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result. Oscar Wilde

In science, nothing is ever 100% proven. Michio Kaku

Science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response. Arthur M. Schlesinger

Mathematical science shows what is. It is the language of unseen relations between things. But to use and apply that language, we must be able fully to appreciate, to feel, to seize the unseen, the unconscious. Ada Lovelace

Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence. Louis Pasteur

My degree is in biology, and it will always be my first love. Evolution, ecology, genetics - they were the textbooks I was devouring as a teenager, and it was there that my love of science grew. Elise Andrew

Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss. Ralph Waldo Emerson

To my mind, the most important aspect of the Nobel Awards is that they bring home to the masses of the peoples of all nations, a realization of their common interests. They carry to those who have no direct contact with science the international spirit. Irving Langmuir

Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts. Baruch Spinoza

Saliva has antibacterial properties. It also has things called nerve growth factor, skin growth factor, histatins which help with wound closure. So when you see an animal licking a wound or even a mom kissing a child's boo-boo, there's some, there's some good science behind why one might do this. Mary Roach

All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one's brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon. Roger Bacon

Sometimes parents squash students' interests because they are afraid of science or math. So they don't participate. You don't have to know the answers to engage kids; you just have to let them know it's important. Mae Jemison

Any real virtual reality enthusiast can look back at VR science fiction. It's not about playing games... 'The Matrix,' 'Snow Crash,' all this fiction was not about sitting in a room playing video games. It's about being in a parallel digital world that exists alongside our own, communicating with other people, playing with other people. Palmer Luckey

Transhumanism is the ethics and science of using things like biological and genetic engineering to transform our bodies and make us a more powerful species. Dan Brown

When you put the subjectivity of the art together with the context of the science, you have this very powerful conjunction of opposites and together they are greater than either one could ever be. James Balog

Everything, however complicated - breaking waves, migrating birds, and tropical forests - is made of atoms and obeys the equations of quantum physics. But even if those equations could be solved, they wouldn't offer the enlightenment that scientists seek. Each science has its own autonomous concepts and laws. Martin Rees

The historical development of the work of anthropologists seems to single out clearly a domain of knowledge that heretofore has not been treated by any other science. Franz Boas

Some of the FDA's own scientists have charged that politics, not science, is behind the FDA's actions. Joseph Crowley

The roles of art, morality, religion, political faith, science itself are not to repair organic exhaustion nor to provide sound functioning of the organs. All this supraphysical life is built and expanded not because of the demands of the cosmic environment but because of the demands of the social environment. Emile Durkheim

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life. Immanuel Kant

Electrical science has disclosed to us the more intimate relation existing between widely different forces and phenomena and has thus led us to a more complete comprehension of Nature and its many manifestations to our senses. Nikola Tesla

Science has a culture that is inherently cautious and that is normally not a bad thing. You could even say conservative, because of the peer review process and because the scientific method prizes uncertainty and penalises anyone who goes out on any sort of a limb that is not held in place by abundant and well-documented evidence. Al Gore

Certainly going back to Sherlock Holmes we have a tradition of forensic science featured in detective stories. Jeffery Deaver

Science has made us gods even before we are worthy of being men. Jean Rostand

Philosophy is altogether less pure now. It's been impurified by science and social science and history. Bernard Williams

One of the things that I love to do is travel around the world and look at archaeological sites. Because archaeology gives us an opportunity to study past civilizations, and see where they succeeded and where they failed. Use science to, you know, work backwards and say, 'Well, really, what were they thinking?' Nathan Myhrvold

Science can lift people out of poverty and cure disease. That, in turn, will reduce civil unrest. Stephen Hawking

I believe there are no questions that science can't answer about a physical universe. Stephen Hawking

Science fiction writers aren't fortune tellers. Fortune tellers are fakes. William Gibson

Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom. Will Durant

I had people in my life who didn't give up on me: my mother, my aunt, my science teacher. I had one-on-one speech therapy. I had a nanny who spent all day playing turn-taking games with me. Temple Grandin

The human brain is an incredible pattern-matching machine. Jeff Bezos

The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I gravitated to Judy Blume early on. 'Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing' was my favorite, with a realistic and relatable protagonist in Peter Hatcher. When I reached the fourth grade, I made the leap to science fiction and never looked back. Jeff Kinney

I've always thought of science fiction as being, at some level, a 19th-century business. Robert Reed

We know that to compete for the jobs of the 21st century and thrive in a global economy, we need a growing, skilled and educated workforce, particularly in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math. Americans with bachelor's degrees have half the unemployment rate of those with a high school degree. Mark Pocan

One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen. Robert A. Heinlein

When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man's name live for thousands of years. Denis Diderot

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking. Albert Einstein

Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole, an organism whose vitality is conditioned upon the connection of its parts. David Hilbert

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...' Isaac Asimov

Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself. Woodrow Wilson

Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Pope John Paul II

The biggest benefit of Apollo was the inspiration it gave to a growing generation to get into science and aerospace. Buzz Aldrin

The further a mathematical theory is developed, the more harmoniously and uniformly does its construction proceed, and unsuspected relations are disclosed between hitherto separated branches of the science. David Hilbert

A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. Max Planck

Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge. Stephen Hawking

I was attracted to science fiction because it was so wide open. I was able to do anything and there were no walls to hem you in and there was no human condition that you were stopped from examining. Octavia Butler

Leonardo Da Vinci combined art and science and aesthetics and engineering, that kind of unity is needed once again. Ben Shneiderman

Advertising: the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it. Stephen Leacock

Everything great in science and art is simple. What can be less complicated than the greatest discoveries of humanity - gravitation, the compass, the printing press, the steam engine, the electric telegraph? Jules Verne

People are fascinated by space flight. It makes them interested in science, gets them asking questions and motivates them. Helen Sharman

The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us. Paul Valery

I want to be the Cecil B. DeMille of science fiction. Steven Spielberg

Civilization depends on our expanding ability to produce food efficiently, which has markedly accelerated thanks to science and technology. Nina Fedoroff

In all science, error precedes the truth, and it is better it should go first than last. Horace Walpole

Jerry reversed the usual formula of the superhero who goes to another planet. He put the superhero in ordinary, familiar surroundings, instead of the other way around, as was done in most science fiction. That was the first time I can recall that it had ever been done. Joe Shuster

Journalism should be more like science. As far as possible, facts should be verifiable. If journalists want long-term credibility for their profession, they have to go in that direction. Have more respect for readers. Julian Assange

I describe management as arts, crafts and science. It is a practice that draws on arts, craft and science and there is a lot of craft - meaning experience - there is a certain amount of craft meaning insight, creativity and vision, and there is the use of science, technique or analysis. Henry Mintzberg

Science never gives up searching for truth, since it never claims to have achieved it. John Charles Polanyi

Science, as opposed to technology, does violence to common sense. Richard Dawkins

Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance. Hippocrates

I do not recognize the right of the public to break in the front door of a man's private life in order to satisfy the gaze of the curious... I do not think it right to dissect living men even for the advancement of science. So far as I am concerned, I prefer a post mortem examination to vivisection without anaesthetics. Alexander Graham Bell

Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability. William Osler

While it is quite reasonable for scientists to be skeptical of new ideas that do not fit within the accepted realm of scientific knowledge, the best science often emerges from situations where results carefully obtained do not fit within the accepted paradigms. Stanley B. Prusiner

I like science fiction, I like fantasy, I like time travel, so I had this idea: What if you had a phone that could call into the past? Rainbow Rowell

And, that's what I truly believe that we're doing when we're advancing scientific knowledge is we're someday making the world better. Not only for our children, but for all people after that. Duane G. Carey

It has become almost a cliche to remark that nobody boasts of ignorance of literature, but it is socially acceptable to boast ignorance of science and proudly claim incompetence in mathematics. Richard Dawkins

I was a science fiction geek. That lets you know that they come in all sizes and styles, right? Mae Jemison

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. Carl Sagan

Education has failed in a very serious way to convey the most important lesson science can teach: skepticism. David Suzuki

I feel it is unnatural and immoral to try to teach science to children in a foreign language They will know facts, but they will miss the spirit. C. V. Raman

Girls need to see somebody that looks like them talking about science and technology. Emily Calandrelli

I developed that for a long time. I also developed 'Sugar Sweet Science' at New Line and that didn't happen. That was a boxing movie. And between all that there were a couple of other things. Danny DeVito

Perspective is not a science but a hope. John Berger

The scientist is motivated primarily by curiosity and a desire for truth. Irving Langmuir

In science fiction, we're always searching for new frontiers. We're drawn to the unknown. Ridley Scott

Now science has presented us with a hope called stem cell research, which may provide our scientists with many answers that have for so long been beyond our grasp. Nancy Reagan

I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students. Carl Sagan

I think we need to price carbon; there's no question about it. The way we do it needs to be based on science and not political debates and attacks, and that's why I'm drawing on experts and best practices from around the world. Justin Trudeau

There is nothing wrong with good accounting, except that it does not necessarily lead to good science. Gerhard Herzberg

I was raised on comic books, and I love science fiction. Mayim Bialik

My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development, testing, marketing, user education. Melinda Gates

A good writer should be able to write comedic work that made you laugh, and scary stuff that made you scared, and fantasy or science fiction that imbued you with a sense of wonder, and mainstream journalism that gave you clear and concise information in a way that you wanted it. Neil Gaiman

It's very hard to be a practicing Christian in the 21st-century world if you set things up as, 'Everyone is against us. You can't believe modern science, modern media or modern political institutions because they're all conspiring against Christians.' J. D. Vance

Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously, productively, and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works, it's fantastic and will lift you up. When it doesn't work, it's almost just as fascinating. Julia Roberts

Art is science made clear. Wilson Mizner

Like university science departments, the arts have shown how they can earn their way and point to an economically newborn future for this country. They show that the U.K. could be a prime provider of imaginative riches and intellectual adventure, which I think are the two great prizes of the 21st century. Melvyn Bragg

Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better. Bill Nye

Touch a scientist and you touch a child. Ray Bradbury

Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done. Robert A. Heinlein

The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform... But it is likely to exert an indirect and reciprocal influence on science itself. Ada Lovelace

I'm very interested in science. Candice Millard

The Enlightenment was an attempt to liberate myth and base truth claims on evidence, not just dogma. But when science threw out the church, they threw out the baby with the bath water. Ken Wilber

The commonality between science and art is in trying to see profoundly - to develop strategies of seeing and showing. Edward Tufte

The history of science is rich in example of the fruitfulness of bringing two sets of techniques, two sets of ideas, developed in separate contexts for the pursuit of new truth, into touch with one another. J. Robert Oppenheimer

It was unthinkable not long ago that a biologist or paleontologist would be at the same conference as an astrophysicist. Now we have accumulated so much data in each of these branches of science as it relates to origins that we have learned that no one discipline can answer questions of origins alone. Neil deGrasse Tyson

The function of sociology, as of every science, is to reveal that which is hidden. Pierre Bourdieu

On the ordinary view of each species having been independently created, we gain no scientific explanation. Charles Darwin

Natural science will in time incorporate into itself the science of man, just as the science of man will incorporate into itself natural science: there will be one science. Karl Marx

I had been pursuing a Ph.D. in political science when my National Guard unit was sent to Iraq. Eight months into our deployment, in November 2004, a rocket-propelled grenade fired by Iraqi insurgents tore through the pilot's side of the Blackhawk helicopter I was flying. Tammy Duckworth

When radium was discovered, no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. Marie Curie

Science is nothing but perception. Plato

The virtues of science are skepticism and independence of thought. Walter Gilbert

My brother and I were both good at science, and we were both good at English literature. Either one of us could have gone either way. Margaret Atwood

Science is but an image of the truth. Francis Bacon

Engineering or technology is all about using the power of science to make life better for people, to reduce cost, to improve comfort, to improve productivity, etc. N. R. Narayana Murthy

The Western day is indeed nearing when the inner science of self-control will be found as necessary as the outer conquest of nature. This new Atomic Age will see men's minds sobered and broadened by the now scientifically indisputable truth that matter is in reality a concentrate of energy. Paramahansa Yogananda

I don't believe there's anything in life you can't go back and fix. The ancient Vedas - the oldest Hindu philosophy - and modern science agree that time is an illusion. If that's true, there's no such thing as a past or a future - it's all one huge now. So what you fix now affects the past and the future. Alan Arkin

I have one of the self-driving Teslas; it drives itself periodically. It's a marvel of science, but it's still frightening. I think we've got a while before regulators and the general public wrap their heads around the path that will lead to the ubiquity of driverless cars. There's no doubt Uber will be a leader in that space. Chris Sacca

False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness. Charles Darwin

In much of computer science, I can easily 'auto-grade' your work and give you an instant meaningful feedback. I can't do this when it comes to the subtlety of human thought, language, poetry, philosophy. Sebastian Thrun

With acknowledgement of residues, we can be more easily prepared to grant the unit of science, the overlapping of disciplines, and the total coherence of all facts. Kenneth L. Pike

The enchanting charms of this sublime science reveal only to those who have the courage to go deeply into it. Carl Friedrich Gauss

The strength of self-reliance and self-development is that of science and technology, and the shortcut to implementing the five-year strategy is to give importance and precedence to science and technology. Kim Jong-un

When I find myself in the company of scientists, I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a room full of dukes. W. H. Auden

You can make real food in 20, 30 minutes, but we've convinced ourselves that it is a rocket science. It's a shame. It's the media and the food industry: they've fed our panic around time. Michael Pollan

I am a great fan of science, but I cannot do a quadratic equation. Terry Pratchett

There's no question that as science, knowledge and technology advance, that we will attempt to do more significant things. And there's no question that we will always have to temper those things with ethics. Ben Carson

Part of what it is to be scientifically-literate, it's not simply, 'Do you know what DNA is? Or what the Big Bang is?' That's an aspect of science literacy. The biggest part of it is do you know how to think about information that's presented in front of you. Neil deGrasse Tyson

The big lesson of planetary science is when you do a first reconnaissance of a new kind of object, you should expect the unexpected. Alan Stern

Years of science fiction have produced a mindset that it is human destiny to expand from Earth, to the Moon, to Mars, to the stars. Barney Oliver

The nineteenth century believed in science but the twentieth century does not. Gertrude Stein

What is the intersection between technology, art and science? Curiosity and wonder, because it drives us to explore, because we're surrounded by things we can't see. Louie Schwartzberg

I'm concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet. Joan Jett

Indeed, every true science has for its object the determination of certain phenomena by means of others, in accordance with the relations which exist between them. Auguste Comte

I read very, very little fiction as a kid. All the books I can remember are junior science books. Mark Haddon

In science, we must be interested in things, not in persons. Marie Curie

We think that it is the best scientists working in the frontier fields of science who are best able to judge what is good and what is bad - if any - in the application of their scientific research. Kenichi Fukui

As a kid, I didn't need to be convinced the future promised peril and oppression, so when I started thinking up the middle-grade science fiction novel that became 'The Boy at the End of the World,' it seemed only natural to build the story around a dark vision of the future. In my book, civilization has nearly destroyed itself. Greg van Eekhout

Fracking is doable if there's full disclosure of all chemicals used. Secondly, science dictates the policy rather than politics. Third, there's collaboration between environmental groups and the natural gas industry. Bill Richardson

I feel like science and art are cousins. Kate McKinnon

This means that to entrust to science - or to deliberate control according to scientific principles - more than scientific method can achieve may have deplorable effects. Friedrich August von Hayek

It is right that we be concerned with the scientific probity of metaphysics. Gabriel Marcel

I'm thrilled to be working with the Science Channel. A chance to shine a light on the wonder and exciting possibilities of science with such a smart and talented team is a dream come true for me. It's very gratifying to me personally, and it's also a way to honor my family. Nick Sagan

The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances, and demonstrations for impressions. John Ruskin

The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet. Walter Reisch

The most watched programme on the BBC, after the news, is probably 'Doctor Who.' What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature. There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon, who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe. Terry Pratchett

I'm a science guy. I'm a geek. I love geology and botany and marine science. I thought maybe I'd be a professional guide, or maybe even a park ranger, working for the Department of Fish and Game. Paul Walker

I'm not a futurist, and my taste in science fiction was sort of in the gothic horror vein, not space movies and futuristic stuff. Robert Picardo

Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life. Marcus Aurelius

The Universal Zulu Nation stands to acknowledge wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, and equality, peace, unity, love, and having fun, work, overcoming the negative through the positive, science, mathematics, faith, facts, and the wonders of God, whether we call him Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, or Jah. Afrika Bambaataa

Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house. Henri Poincare

Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.' Max Planck

A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless. Simone Weil

I don't know if science and reason will ultimately help guide humanity to a better and more peaceful future, but I am certain that this belief is part of what keeps the 'Star Trek' fandom going. Lawrence M. Krauss

I am glad to have this opportunity of expressing my high appreciation of the honour extended to me many years ago by the Royal Swedish Academy of Science by enrolling me amongst its members. Guglielmo Marconi

I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating. Steve Jobs

In contemporary art culture, where good looks and clever strategic planning of art careers have become a feature, professional practice may be taught in art schools like a branch of public relations or political science. Michael Leunig

I felt that chess... is a science in the form of a game... I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist. Bobby Fischer

Before I became a film major, I was very heavily into social science, I had done a lot of sociology, anthropology, and I was playing in what I call social psychology, which is sort of an offshoot of anthropology/sociology - looking at a culture as a living organism, why it does what it does. George Lucas

Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated. Tryon Edwards

One of the most interesting things about science fiction and fantasy is the way that the genres can offer different perspectives on matters to do with the body, the mind, medical technology, and the way we live our lives. Tansy Rayner Roberts

The church saves sinners, but science seeks to stop their manufacture. Elbert Hubbard

Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness. Aldous Huxley

Great moments in science: Einstein discovers that time is actually money. Gary Larson

Some say they see poetry in my paintings; I see only science. Georges Seurat

I didn't study science beyond high school level, but I'd been reading a lot of science books by people like Richard Dawkins, Matt Ridley and Daniel Dennett. I also spent a year working on a fellowship in a research centre - the Allan Wilson Centre - where I got a hands-on look at their work sequencing DNA. Bernard Beckett

Science fiction encourages us to explore... all the futures, good and bad, that the human mind can envision. Marion Zimmer Bradley

Mothers, unless they were very poor, didn't work. Both of my parents had to leave education. My mother had to work in a cotton mill until 18 or 19, when she took some training in domestic science. Roger Bannister

A big part of engaging kids in science is not getting the single, correct answer; it's being willing to work with students to discover the correct answer. Mae Jemison

I was an aspiring astrophysicist, and that's how I defined myself, not by my skin color. People didn't treat me as someone with science ambitions. They treated me as someone they thought was going to mug them, or who was a shoplifter. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Our public schools arbitrarily define science as explaining the world by natural processes alone. In essence, a religion of naturalism is being imposed on millions of students. They need to be taught the real nature of science, including its limitations. Ken Ham

How is it that, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, there are still some who would deny the dangers of climate change? Not surprisingly, the loudest voices are not scientific, and it is remarkable how many economists, lawyers, journalists and politicians set themselves up as experts on the science. Nicholas Stern

Why don't we have enough teachers of math and science in the public schools? One answer is well, if they knew the subject well, they'd also know enough to work for Google or Goldman Sachs or God knows where. James Harris Simons

In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. Galileo Galilei

Science provides an understanding of a universal experience. Arts provide a universal understanding of a personal experience. Mae Jemison

It's worth noting that invoking God as the entity who set our universe in motion isn't contradicted by the data. Of course, scientists would say the supreme being hypothesis is faith, and outside the realm of science - that it's not amenable to experiment. But we currently have the same problem with the notion of parallel universes. Seth Shostak

Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth. Jules Verne

Science is the captain, and practice the soldiers. Leonardo da Vinci

The single life is bearable to me only through my work in science, but for the long term, it would be very bad if I had to make do without a very young person next to me. Werner Heisenberg

You cannot feed the hungry on statistics. Heinrich Heine

One of the things my family taught me - I think very important in religion and science - is that you must be ready to stand up for what you think. Decide what you really think is best, and stick with it. Charles H. Townes

It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that some portion of the neglect of science in England, may be attributed to the system of education we pursue. Charles Babbage

Computer science is one of the worst things that ever happened to either computers or to science. Neil Gershenfeld

The partisanship surrounding space exploration and the retrenching of U.S. space policy are part of a more general trend: the decline of science in the United States. As its interest in science wanes, the country loses ground to the rest of the industrialized world in every measure of technological proficiency. Neil deGrasse Tyson

If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts. Unknown

I wasn't with Joseph, but I believe him. My faith did not come to me through science, and I will not permit so-called science to destroy it. Thomas S. Monson

Advances in science and medical research and public health policies have meant that life expectancy for Australians is one of the highest in the world. Julie Bishop

We should be increasing research and development into our fossil fuel program. Tim Holden

Man, in the collective sense, is the hero of science. Man, in the collective sense, is the hero of Earth. Jacque Fresco

Once you have an innovation culture, even those who are not scientists or engineers - poets, actors, journalists - they, as communities, embrace the meaning of what it is to be scientifically literate. They embrace the concept of an innovation culture. They vote in ways that promote it. They don't fight science and they don't fight technology. Neil deGrasse Tyson

I wasn't a major in political science for nothing, so I understood the politics of beauty and the politics of race when it comes to the fashion industry. Iman

If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed. Stephen Hawking

Blade Runner appears regularly, two or three times a year in various shapes and forms of science fiction. It set the pace for what is essentially urban science fiction, urban future and it's why I've never re-visited that area because I feel I've done it. Ridley Scott

If you live in a ghetto and really want not to just change your life and your family's life but change your ghetto's life, make your ghetto a good neighbourhood, learn science; try to be like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. will.i.am

It was my dream to come to Oxford and study political science. Stormzy

The worst state of affairs is when science begins to concern itself with art. Paul Klee

My desire to be a physician had a lot to do with that sense of medicine as a ministry of healing, not just a science. And not even just a science and an art, but also a calling, also a ministry. Abraham Verghese

I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win. Matthew McConaughey

It is reasonable to expect the doctor to recognize that science may not have all the answers to problems of health and healing. Norman Cousins

Smart people make good choices. They dig science and say 'no' to the invasion of sovereign nations for the pleasure of corporations. Henry Rollins

Art is I; science is we. Claude Bernard

At Tencent, we may be businessmen, but we are still chasing our IT, our science. We are still striving to create something really cool, trying to create things we couldn't even imagine without our new technologies. I am still clinging to this enthusiasm. Ma Huateng

The soft power of science has the potential to reshape global diplomacy. Ahmed Zewail

I would not hesitate to say I was addicted to the Internet in the first two years. It can be addictive, and things not taken in moderation have negative effects. But the alarmism around 'Facebook is changing our brains' strikes me as a kind of historical trick. Because we now know from brain science that everything changes our brains. Clay Shirky

There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. J. Robert Oppenheimer

The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river; and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future. Lord Acton

I'd like to see people pay attention to the science of hip hop. The knowledge part, the political side of what hip hop could do, or where hip hop is gonna go. I always say it's gonna become universal as we become a galactic union. Afrika Bambaataa

Scientific advancement should aim to affirm and to improve human life. Nathan Deal

It is not enough to know your craft - you have to have feeling. Science is all very well, but for us imagination is worth far more. Edouard Manet

Statistics is the grammar of science. Karl Pearson

Science has yet to isolate the Godiva Chocolate or Prada gene, but that doesn't mean your weakness for pricey swag isn't woven into your DNA. According to a new study of identical twins, it's less TV ads or Labor Day sales that make you buy the things you do than the tastes and temperaments that are already part of you at birth. Jeffrey Kluger

I want very much to communicate science to as wide an audience as possible, but not at a cost of dumbing down, and not at a cost in getting things right. Richard Dawkins

You know, there was a time, just before I started to study physical science, when astronomers thought that systems such as we have here in the solar system required a rare triple collision of stars. Murray Gell-Mann

Faulkner is a writer who has had much to do with my soul, but Hemingway is the one who had the most to do with my craft - not simply for his books, but for his astounding knowledge of the aspect of craftsmanship in the science of writing. Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Science is basically an inoculation against charlatans. Neil deGrasse Tyson

It is the business of the future to be dangerous; and it is among the merits of science that it equips the future for its duties. Alfred North Whitehead

Genetic modification has many different areas, for example in medicine, and Britain is at the leading edge of this new technology. I don't know, but people tell me, it could indeed by the leading science of the 21st century. All I say to people is: 'Just keep an open mind and let us proceed according to genuine scientific evidence.' Tony Blair

When I was a kid, I loved 'The Curse of Frankenstein,' 'The Creeping Unknown,' 'X: The Unknown.' I love 'Forbidden Planet,' 'The Thing from Another World.' They were science fiction/horror movies, generally. John Carpenter

Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute. J. G. Ballard

Investing in science education and curiosity-driven research is investing in the future. Ahmed Zewail

The humanities need to be defended today against the encroachments of physical science, as they once needed to be against the encroachment of theology. Irving Babbitt

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite. Paul Dirac

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Louis Pasteur

Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do. Donald Knuth

I remember in 1967, when there was that terrible fire on NASA's Apollo 1 rocket that killed three astronauts, my father made pure oxygen and we lit this tiny cup and burned it. Suddenly, we had an unbelievable jet and a fire. You just could see exactly what had happened. Jack W. Szostak

To be creative means to connect. It's to abolish the gap between the body, the mind and the soul, between science and art, between fiction and nonfiction. Nawal El Saadawi

The history of science shows that theories are perishable. With every new truth that is revealed we get a better understanding of Nature and our conceptions and views are modified. Nikola Tesla

The next major explosion is going to be when genetics and computers come together. I'm talking about an organic computer - about biological substances that can function like a semiconductor. Alvin Toffler

The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality. Shimon Peres

My dad grew up in a mud hut and studied by candlelight. He was 14 when he got a scholarship to Russia. He was super clever - the cleverest person. He landed in 5ft of snow, and was alone at 14, studying science and engineering. He didn't have a bed, and he slept on a table. M.I.A.

A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective. Edward Teller

Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone. Albert Einstein

Cooking is for chefs. Science informs us and lets us cook while knowing what we are doing, but it is not a replacement for the skills of a chef. Nathan Myhrvold

Tact and diplomacy are fine in international relations, in politics, perhaps even in business; in science only one thing matters, and that is the facts. Hans Eysenck

Climate change is real. Climate change is being substantially increased by humans and the carbon we put into the atmosphere. And it appears to be speeding up. If science has made any mistakes, science has been underestimating it. James Balog

Just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts. Henri Poincare

But man has still another powerful resource: natural science with its strictly objective methods. Ivan Pavlov

Science cannot resolve moral conflicts, but it can help to more accurately frame the debates about those conflicts. Heinz R. Pagels

Science should always be in the business of attempting to disprove itself. Ben Stein

If you're an adult and you choose not to believe in science, fine, but please don't prevent your children from learning about it and letting them draw their own conclusions. Bill Nye

A report released by the Partnership for a New American Economy and the Partnership for New York City predicts that by 2018, there will be 800,000 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) jobs in the United States that require a master's degree or higher - and only around 550,000 American-graduates with this training. Marvin Ammori

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence. Louis Pasteur

Snow White' is an old fairy tale, so obviously the idea of vanity and obsession with youth is long-standing. With today's science, people have become crazy with trying to move their face around. It's bizarre. Julia Roberts

When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night. Marissa Mayer

Bush reiterated his stand to conservatives opposing his decision on stem cell research. He said today he believes life begins at conception and ends at execution. Jay Leno

To begin with, we put the proposition: pure phenomenology is the science of pure consciousness. Edmund Husserl

The thing I have discovered about working with personal finance is that the good news is that it is not rocket science. Personal finance is about 80 percent behavior. It is only about 20 percent head knowledge. Dave Ramsey

Crucial to science education is hands-on involvement: showing, not just telling; real experiments and field trips and not just 'virtual reality.' Martin Rees

Science is the most durable and nondivisive way of thinking about the human circumstance. It transcends cultural, national, and political boundaries. You don't have American science versus Canadian science versus Japanese science. Sam Harris

I studied science. And I had a group of friends who were heavily into music and theatre. Mohit Chauhan

Nothing you'll read as breaking news will ever hold a candle to the sheer beauty of settled science. Textbook science has carefully phrased explanations for new students, math derived step by step, plenty of experiments as illustration, and test problems. Eliezer Yudkowsky

What are we promoting in society? Well-behaved automatons that spew back what they learned in a book. That's not science. You can get a parrot to do that. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely. Josef Albers

The central task of science is to arrive, stage by stage, at a clearer comprehension of nature, but this does not at all mean, as it is sometimes claimed to mean, a search for mastery over nature. Lewis Thomas

Nothing matters but the facts. Without them, the science of criminal investigation is nothing more than a guessing game. Blake Edwards

It's not rocket science. It's social science. Clement Mok

Science gave me a cosmic religious feeling, and I would get the same feeling when I was dragged to the Met and the Museum of Modern Art. Jon Kabat-Zinn

Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful. Philip K. Dick

You can't train kids in a world where adults have no concept of what science literacy is. The adults are gonna squash the creativity that would manifest itself, because they're clueless about what it and why it matters. But science can always benefit from the more brains there are that are thinking about it - but that's true for any field. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic. Thomas Huxley

Fashion is the science of appearances, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be. Edwin Hubbel Chapin

Polygraph tests are 20th-century witchcraft. Sam Ervin

Wandering around the web is like living in a world in which every doorway is actually one of those science fiction devices which deposit you in a completely different part of the world when you walk through them. In fact, it isn't like it, it is it. Douglas Adams

I went into science, ending up with a Ph.D. in cell biology, but along the way I found out that experimental science involves many hours and days and nights of laboratory work, which is a lot like washing dishes, only a little more challenging. I was too impatient, and maybe a little too sloppy, for it. Barbara Ehrenreich

In science the important thing is to modify and change one's ideas as science advances. Herbert Spencer

Science never gives up searching for truth, since it never claims to have achieved it. It is civilizing because it puts truth ahead of all else, including personal interests. John Polanyi

Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof. Ashley Montagu

The paradigm of the 'Aquarian Conspiracy' sees humankind embedded in nature. It promotes the autonomous individual in a decentralized society... The new perspective respects the ecology of everything: birth, death, learning, health, family, work, science, spirituality, the arts, the community, relationships, politics. Marilyn Ferguson

I think science has begun to demonstrate that aging is a disease. If it is, it can be cured. Tom Robbins

Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification. Karl Popper

Anyone who attempts to generate random numbers by deterministic means is, of course, living in a state of sin. John von Neumann

Computer Science is embarrassed by the computer. Alan Perlis

The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science. Richard P. Feynman

That's what Hubble can do for us. It can tell us whether the universe is expanding forever or if one day it's going to come back together. Duane G. Carey

A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God. Alan Perlis

Human relations are built on feeling, not on reason or knowledge. And feeling is not an exact science; like all spiritual qualities, it has the vagueness of greatness about it. Amelia Barr

We must accept what science tells us, that man was born from the earth. But, more logical than the scientists who lecture us, we must carry this lesson to its conclusion: that is to say, accept that man was born entirely from the world - not only his flesh and bones but his incredible power of thought. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Maybe the search for life shouldn't restrict attention to planets like Earth. Science fiction writers have other ideas: balloon-like creatures floating in the dense atmospheres of planets such as Jupiter, swarms of intelligent insects, nano-scale robots and more. Martin Rees

My people are going to learn the principles of democracy, the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

For science, the end of the evolution struggle is simply represented by 'survival.' As for the means to that end, apparently anything goes. Darwinism leaves humanity without a moral compass. Bruce Lipton

I had no specific bent toward science until my grandfather died of cancer. I decided nobody should suffer that much. Gertrude B. Elion

In fourth grade, I was interested in all areas of science. I particularly loved learning about how the earth was created. Mae Jemison

A man ceases to be a beginner in any given science and becomes a master in that science when he has learned that he is going to be a beginner all his life. Robin G. Collingwood

I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists. Jacques Yves Cousteau

Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world. Henry Adams

Winning is the science of being totally prepared. George Allen, Sr.

As a Humanist, I love science. I hate superstition, which could never have given us A-bombs. Kurt Vonnegut

I hope climate science becomes the big thing. And then what I want is electrical engineers to solve the world's energy problems, energy distribution problems. I want mechanical engineers to make better transportation systems. I want chemical engineers to develop better solar panels, and so on. Bill Nye

I really don't think of myself as a science writer. James Gleick

It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment. Galileo Galilei

What we must understand is that the industries, processes, and inventions created by modern science can be used either to subjugate or liberate. The choice is up to us. Henry A. Wallace

If Christianity is not scientific, and Science is not of God, then there is no invariable law, and truth becomes an accident. Mary Baker Eddy

No one knows who wrote the laws of physics or where they come from. Science is based on testable, reproducible evidence, and so far we cannot test the universe before the Big Bang. Michio Kaku

Since I was an atheist for many years and came to believe in God through my studies in science, it frustrated me to see students and parents who viewed faith and science as enemies. John Clayton

The science of operations, as derived from mathematics more especially, is a science of itself, and has its own abstract truth and value. Ada Lovelace

It's true in everything, not just in drag: To be a success, you have to understand the landscape. You have to know thyself, and you have to know your history so that you can draw from people who have figured out the equation you are faced with. It's not rocket science. RuPaul

It turns out it's not rocket science to design a sacred space. Greg Lynn

Mysteries once thought to be supernatural or paranormal happenings - such as astronomical or meteorological events - are incorporated into science once their causes are understood. Michael Shermer

Science is not everything, but science is very beautiful. J. Robert Oppenheimer

Many schools today are sacrificing social studies, the arts and physical education so children can cover basic subjects like math, English and science. Geoffrey Canada

I don't think that faith, whatever you're being faithful about, really can be scientifically explained. And I don't want to explain this whole life business through truth, science. There's so much mystery. There's so much awe. Jane Goodall

When I die, I'm gonna leave my body to science fiction. Steven Wright

Science does not know its debt to imagination. Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the history of science, we often find that the study of some natural phenomenon has been the starting point in the development of a new branch of knowledge. C. V. Raman

Music is science. Everything is science. Because science is truth. Chuck Berry

Sadly, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal in this country and has been going on at universities and research facilities for years. Mike Pence

The world has changed - through technology, through wine-making techniques, the quality of wine is greater than it's ever been. Whereas ten, fifteen years ago it was very easy to find lots of bad wine, it's kind of hard now. The technology, the science - it's like, are you kidding? We're in the golden years of wine! Gary Vaynerchuk

We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That's just not true. You just have to start early and give kids a foundation. Kids live up, or down, to expectations. Mae Jemison

I was very much into science when I was young - I wanted to be a marine biologist, then I wanted to be a doctor, and then something else, I was always changing. Freema Agyeman

Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death. William Blake

It should be that every child, when they leave school, can do ten meals, because when they leave home, they've got to be able to eat healthily. Blow the science of it and everything else. They've just got to be able to know what's good for them, how to buy it, and how to make a few dishes that they enjoy and don't cost too much. Mary Berry

We are in a tech-heavy society, plunging headlong into an unknown future. Science fiction is what allows you to stand back and analyze the impact of that and put it in context of how it affects people. J. Michael Straczynski

Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science. Edwin Powell Hubble

Arresting development, attacking science, and glorifying poverty is not the answer to the vices that attend prosperity. Abdolkarim Soroush

Science without conscience is the death of the soul. Francois Rabelais

Don't confuse hypothesis and theory. The former is a possible explanation; the latter, the correct one. The establishment of theory is the very purpose of science. Martin H. Fischer

What use could the humanities be in a digital age? University students focusing on the humanities may end up, at least in their parents' nightmares, as dog-walkers for those majoring in computer science. But, for me, the humanities are not only relevant but also give us a toolbox to think seriously about ourselves and the world. Nicholas Kristof

The product of mental labor - science - always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production. Karl Marx

The success stories in biotechnology are mainly due to the straightforward application of design thinking in both the business and science aspects of our lean startups. Ryan Bethencourt

Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science. Robert Green Ingersoll

No great advance has been made in science, politics, or religion without controversy. Lyman Beecher

Science works because the phenomenon being described can be relied on to remain the same. Even in quantum physics, where phenomena are changed by observation, the way in which observation interferes is regular and falls within a limited range of possibilities. Human culture, however, has the nasty habit of never staying the same for very long. Julian Baggini

The very nature of science is discoveries, and the best of those discoveries are the ones you don't expect. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines. Bertrand Russell

One of the reasons I like working with schools is to try to convince women that they can be scientists and that science can be fun. Nancy Roman

Something is wrong that we have to feed so many. Why should there be poverty with all of our science and technology? There is no deficit in human resources - it is a deficit in human will. Coretta Scott King

Galileo was no idiot. Only an idiot could believe that science requires martyrdom - that may be necessary in religion, but in time a scientific result will establish itself. David Hilbert

Hence, even in the domain of natural science the aid of the experimental method becomes indispensable whenever the problem set is the analysis of transient and impermanent phenomena, and not merely the observation of persistent and relatively constant objects. Wilhelm Wundt

I didn't invent forensic science and medicine. I just was one of the first people to recognize how interesting it is. Patricia Cornwell

Most people don't realize it, because they're invisible, but microbes make up about a half of the Earth's biomass, whereas all animals only make up about one one-thousandth of all the biomass. Craig Venter

We believe behavioral science, cognitive computing, and machine intelligence are essential to a successful, holistic surveillance offering and critical to efficient and effective organizational compliance with an increasingly intricate global regulatory environment. Adena Friedman

You have to imagine a world in which there's this abundance of data, with all of these connected devices generating tons and tons of data. And you're able to reason over the data with new computer science and make your product and service better. What does your business look like then? That's the question every CEO should be asking. Michael Dell

The science of the mind can only have for its proper goal the understanding of human nature by every human being, and through its use, brings peace to every human soul. Alfred Adler

Science grows like a weed every year. Kary Mullis

In the 1950s, the average person saw science as something that solved problems. With the advent of nuclear weapons and pollution, the idealistic aura around scientific research has been replaced by cynicism. Sheldon Lee Glashow

The humanities have been forced to disguise, both from themselves and their students, why their subjects really matter, for the sake of attracting money and prestige in a world obsessed by the achievements of science. Alain de Botton

Science must begin with myths, and with the criticism of myths. Karl Popper

Genome design is going to be a key part of the future. That's why we need fast, cheap, accurate DNA synthesis, so you can make a lot of iterations of something and test them. Craig Venter

Science commits suicide when it adopts a creed. Thomas Huxley

One of the strangest features of string theory is that it requires more than the three spatial dimensions that we see directly in the world around us. That sounds like science fiction, but it is an indisputable outcome of the mathematics of string theory. Brian Greene

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. Albert Einstein

It turns out that understanding the British public is not rocket science. The British appreciate honesty and they also have a bonkers, off-the-wall sense of humour like me. Nicole Scherzinger

I don't want to give advice to people about their religious beliefs, but I do think that it's not smart to bet against the power of science to figure out the natural world. It used to be, a thousand years ago, that if you wanted to explain why the moon moved through the sky, you needed to invoke God. Sean M. Carroll

It should be mandatory that you understand computer science. will.i.am

Whenever anyone says, 'theoretically,' they really mean, 'not really.' Dave Parnas

One of the favorite things I've learned about Michigan State is that they set up a 'Women's course' in 1896. It sounds like the first gender studies department! But when I looked into it, they taught women home economics, liberal arts, and science. So the women's course was actually a useful degree! It actually teaches something productive! Milo Yiannopoulos

Just as Darwin discovered the law of development of organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of development of human history: the simple fact, hitherto concealed by an overgrowth of ideology, that mankind must first of all eat, drink, have shelter and clothing, before it can pursue politics, science, art, religion, etc. Friedrich Engels

I believe that the future of humanity is in the progress of reason through science. I believe that the pursuit of truth, through science, is the divine ideal which man should propose to himself. Emile Zola

I had bohemian parents in Seattle in the last '60s living in a houseboat. My dad wrote science fiction novels and painted big murals and oil paintings. Rainn Wilson

My father was a first reader in the Christian Science Church, which is similar to being a preacher. There was no drinking, smoking or cursing. Ellen DeGeneres

Modernism in Vienna brought together science and culture in a new way to create an Age of Insight that emphasized a more complex view of the human mind than had ever existed before. Eric Kandel

Whenever one reads of the determination of the species, or opens a book on natural science and history, in whatever language, one inevitably comes across the name of Linne. Johannes Vilhelm Jensen

Science rules! Bill Nye

Take young researchers, put them together in virtual seclusion, give them an unprecedented degree of freedom and turn up the pressure by fostering competitiveness. James D. Watson

It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature. Albert Einstein

When we see the shadow on our images, are we seeing the time 11 minutes ago on Mars? Or are we seeing the time on Mars as observed from Earth now? It's like time travel problems in science fiction. When is now; when was then? Bill Nye

Science fiction is like a blender - you can put in any historical experience and take influences from everything you see, read or experience. Joss Whedon

We live in a time when science is validating what humans have known throughout the ages: that compassion is not a luxury; it is a necessity for our well-being, resilience, and survival. Joan Halifax

Science and religion are the two most powerful forces in the world. Having them at odds... is not productive. E. O. Wilson

It's such a long mission and we get to spend so much time in space... we're doing such exciting research. And I don't want to overemphasize the life science research, but as a physician the life science research that we're doing is extremely exciting. Laurel Clark

Science is about applying what we know and asking what we don't know. Tim Hunt

When it comes to the things that people really want in science fiction - like space travel - the simplest things end up causing them not to happen. Humans are 100-pound bags of water, built to live on Earth. Lawrence M. Krauss

As we talk with candour, we open the doors to new possibilities and new areas of cooperation in advance in democracy, in combating terrorism, in energy and environment, science and technology and international peacekeeping. Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Life science research can be done on multiple platforms. Since we have a very small number of people flying into space, the more people you have, the better. Laurel Clark

Science is the pursuit of pure truth, and the systematizing of it. P. T. Barnum

Rocket science is tough, and rockets have a way of failing. Sally Ride

My social philosophy may be said to be enshrined in three words: liberty, equality and fraternity. Let no one, however, say that I have borrowed by philosophy from the French Revolution. I have not. My philosophy has roots in religion and not in political science. I have derived them from the teachings of my Master, the Buddha. B. R. Ambedkar

The basic scientific conclusions on climate change are very robust and for good reason. The greenhouse effect is simple science: greenhouse gases trap heat, and humans are emitting ever more greenhouse gases. Nicholas Stern

In the 1940s, cigarettes would be shown in classy situations, endorsed by celebrities - real A-list Hollywood stars in America - the ads would make claims about tobacco quality or manufacturing science and, bizarrely, some brands had what almost amounted to health claims. Peter York

Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible. Ray Bradbury

When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings; when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man. Diogenes

The imposing edifice of science provides a challenging view of what can be achieved by the accumulation of many small efforts in a steady objective and dedicated search for truth. Charles H. Townes

Through art and science in their broadest senses it is possible to make a permanent contribution towards the improvement and enrichment of human life and it is these pursuits that we students are engaged in. Frederick Sanger

Science and technology are a propellant for building a thriving country, and the happiness of the people and the future of the country hinge on their development. Kim Jong-un

Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not. Isaac Asimov

Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor. Emily Post

Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature. Paul Valery

In these days when science is clearly in the saddle and when our knowledge of disease is advancing at a breathless pace, we are apt to forget that not all can ride and that he also serves who waits and who applies what the horseman discovers. Harvey Cushing

When a person's religious beliefs cause him to deny the evidence of science, or for whom public policy morphs into a battle with the devil, shouldn't that be a subject for discussion and debate? Lawrence M. Krauss

Consciousness permits us to develop the instruments of culture - morality and justice, religion, art, economics and politics, science and technology. Those instruments allow us some measure of freedom in the confrontation with nature. Antonio Damasio

In the 1970s, we had Carl Sagan, and he was so suave with his turtleneck and his tweed jacket. And he was, you know, he made science look cool. And in punk rock, we haven't had that. We haven't had the Carl Sagan of punk. Greg Graffin

I would designate as science fiction in the best sense: they are visions and anticipations by which we seek to attain a true knowledge, but, in fact, they are only imaginations whereby we seek to draw near to the reality. Pope Benedict XVI

Science is curiosity, testing and experimenting. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan

It doesn't take science to know that when you have head-to-head collisions, there's going to be some effect. Jim Brown

Many writers upon the science of political economy have declared that it is the duty of a nation first to encourage the creation of wealth; and second, to direct and control its distribution. All such theories are delusive. Leland Stanford

Science moves fastest when there's plenty of debate and controversy. Lee Smolin

Math is sometimes called the science of patterns. Ronald Graham

I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me. Steven Spielberg

When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won't one day, from some perspective, appear prophetic. Jean Rostand

Fashion is more about feel than science. Pharrell Williams

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings. Helen Keller

The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin even, or even different parts of the same continuum, but rather, they are manifestations of the same thing. The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity. Mae Jemison

The idea is to make the script out of a political analysis and then to convey that - sometimes in poetry, sometimes science, sometimes all it takes is a film. The film itself is less and less spectacular because I think very strongly now the more spectacular you are, the more you are absorbed by the things you are trying to destroy. Jean-Luc Godard

Human Nature is the only science of man; and yet has been hitherto the most neglected. David Hume

I find it greatly disturbing that the Bush administration has used political and religious ideologies to influence national policy on science and medicine. Tammy Baldwin

Evolution seems to close the heart to some of the plainest spiritual truths while it opens the mind to the wildest guesses advanced in the name of science. William Jennings Bryan

It is the public that is illiterate in science and math, a lazy press, and environmental advocacy groups that manufacture fear for misconceptions about energy. Rex Tillerson

It is this conception of the unity of the human career which is perhaps the greatest achievement of historical study, since it gained a place analogous to that of natural science. James Henry Breasted

In the forensic science course I took at university they used photographs of dead bodies. For ballistics they showed us a guy lying on the floor, and his head had burst. Denise Mina

Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it. J. Robert Oppenheimer

He is so old that his blood type was discontinued. Bill Dana

More and more jobs are applying cutting-edge technologies and now demand deeper knowledge of math and science in positions that most people don't think of as STEM-related, including machinists, electricians, auto techs, medical technicians, plumbers and pipefitters. Rex Tillerson

The strength of the scientific establishment in any country is related to its general level of education, not only in supplying large numbers of eager minds for further training, but also in ensuring a public opinion that holds science in esteem and approves financial support. Arthur Lewis

I am a political human being. I have - that's one of my interests. I studied political science in college. I was actually going to get my Ph.D. in poli-sci. And a lot of my material from early on in my career dealt with politics, so I've always considered myself as somebody who enjoys political humor. So I'm not going to stop. Maz Jobrani

Science is a principle and a process of seeking truth. Truth cannot be purchased, and thus, truth cannot be altered by money. Tyrone Hayes

Science doesn't work by voting. Did people vote on the theory of relativity? No! It's either right or it's wrong. Do we vote on whether genetics is a good theory or not? Of course not. Alan Stern

In the spirit of science, there really is no such thing as a 'failed experiment.' Any test that yields valid data is a valid test. Adam Savage

Written in 1895, Alfred Nobel's will endowed prizes for scientific research in chemistry, physics, and medicine. At that time, these fields were narrowly defined, and researchers were often classically trained in only one discipline. In the late 19th century, knowledge of science was not a requisite for success in other walks of life. Peter Agre

I love science. I hate supposition, superstition, exaggeration and falsified data. Show me the research, show me the results, show me the conclusions - and then show me some qualified peer reviews of all that. Claire Scovell LaZebnik

Biology is the science. Evolution is the concept that makes biology unique. Jared Diamond

Politics is not an exact science. Otto von Bismarck

Food is art and science. So, you take something out, you have to work with the recipe to make sure that you're providing delicious food with cleaner labels. Denise Morrison

The relevance of Marxism to science is that it removes it from its imagined position of complete detachment and shows it as a part, but a critically important part, of economy and social development. John Desmond Bernal

People think of the inventor as a screwball, but no one ever asks the inventor what he thinks of other people. Charles Kettering

From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It's not a miracle; we just decided to go. Jim Lovell

Blitzscaling is what you do when you need to grow really, really quickly. It's the science and art of rapidly building out a company to serve a large and usually global market, with the goal of becoming the first mover at scale. This is high-impact entrepreneurship. Reid Hoffman

Scientists worldwide agree that the reduction needed to stabilize the climate is actually more like 80 percent. Donella Meadows

Cultural anthropology is more and more rapidly getting to realize itself as a strictly historical science. Edward Sapir

The man of science is a poor philosopher. Albert Einstein

When I was making 'Star Wars,' I wasn't restrained by any kind of science. I simply said, 'I'm going to create a world that's fun and interesting, makes sense, and seems to have a reality to it.' George Lucas

My hope is that in the future, women stop referring to themselves as 'the only woman' in their physics lab or 'only one of two' in their computer science jobs. Kirsten Gillibrand

You can be creative in anything - in math, science, engineering, philosophy - as much as you can in music or in painting or in dance. Ken Robinson

We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like. Alfred Hitchcock

Science and mindfulness complement each other in helping people to eat well and maintain their health and well-being. Nhat Hanh

Science shows us truth and beauty and fills each day with a fresh wonder of the exquisite order which governs our world. Polykarp Kusch

Sporting competitions seem to be what we obsess over, frankly. So if we can put engineering, science, technology into a format of healthy, fun competition, we can attract all sorts of kids that might not see the kind of activity we do as accessible or rewarding. Dean Kamen

Everything in food is science. The only subjective part is when you eat it. Alton Brown

Formal logic is mathematics, and there are philosophers like Wittgenstein that are very mathematical, but what they're really doing is mathematics - it's not talking about things that have affected computer science; it's mathematical logic. Lawrence M. Krauss

All the traditional STEM fields, the science, technology, engineering, and math fields, are stoked when you dream big in an agency such as NASA. Neil deGrasse Tyson

What is required of a working hypothesis is a fine capacity for discrimination. Jean-Francois Lyotard

Feynman once said, 'Science is imagination in a straitjacket.' It is ironic that in the case of quantum mechanics, the people without the straitjackets are generally the nuts. Lawrence M. Krauss

The selfsame procedure which zoology, a branch of the natural sciences, applies to the study of animals, anthropology must apply to the study of man; and by doing so, it enrolls itself as a science in the field of nature. Maria Montessori

If we study learning as a data science, we can reverse engineer the human brain and tailor learning techniques to maximize the chances of student success. This is the biggest revolution that could happen in education, turning it into a data-driven science, and not such a medieval set of rumors professors tend to carry on. Sebastian Thrun

Science has the potential to solve all kinds of problems, but it depends on what a society wants to accomplish. George M. Whitesides

Art makes us human, music makes us human, and I deeply feel that science makes us human. Brian Greene

Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Take the time to discover how African-Americans have had a great impact on this country. In science, education, literature, art, and politics. Lynn Swann

Yet higher religion, which is only a search for a larger life, is essentially experience and recognized the necessity of experience as its foundation long before science learnt to do so. Muhammad Iqbal

Theory helps us to bear our ignorance of facts. George Santayana

Art is made to disturb, science reassures. Georges Braque

Oh, I'm nerdy about science fiction and fantasy and graphic novels and reading, and I'm nerdy about board games. My favorite board game is a board game I'm working on right now. It's a game of Napoleonic era naval warfare, and it's going to be fun. Billy Campbell

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. Albert Einstein

I like the sci-fi channel. Just science in general. I came across a segment on time travel and how time travel is possible. We create a spaceship that's moving at almost the speed of light, we go in that spaceship in outer space, and we fly around for a year, when we get back to Earth, Earth would've aged 10 years. Von Miller

There is no complete theory of anything. Robert Anton Wilson

The basic science is very well established; it is well understood that global warming is due to greenhouse gases. What is uncertain is projections about specifics in the next few decades, by how much will the climate change. Mario J. Molina

It is my belief that no matter how advanced man may become in science, technology, systems, and knowledge, he can never improve on the foundational precepts of marriage as the bedrock of social development. Myles Munroe

I'm always involved with the Aerospace Program and NASA and Goddard Space Flight Center. And if kids feel so inclined, they can log onto NASA and the Optimus Prime Spinoff Award, which we present every year to some of the brilliant young minds that are taking up into the academics of space, science, technology, math. Peter Cullen

There is an idea that a mind is wasted on the arts unless it makes you good in math or science. There is some evidence that the arts might help you in math and science. Wynton Marsalis

It's not a science when you are judging art, but we'd be remiss to say you can't look at something and say, 'This is more well done than that.' Matthew McConaughey

I went through the standard scientific atheist phase when I was about 14. I bought into that package deal of science equals atheism. Rupert Sheldrake

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. Stephen Hawking

What I do is not rocket science, but I sure do love it. Kyle Chandler

At a time when science plays such a powerful role in the life of society, when the destiny of the whole of mankind may hinge on the results of scientific research, it is incumbent on all scientists to be fully conscious of that role, and conduct themselves accordingly. Joseph Rotblat

We know Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin as politicians, but they felt that science was something everyone should have a knowledge of. Rush D. Holt, Jr.

The heart of science is measurement. Erik Brynjolfsson

When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean, that's faith; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two, that's science. Anton Chekhov

I think people are realizing that engineering and science are extremely good degrees to get and you'll be very highly paid once you've got them. James Dyson

Science fiction works best when it stimulates debate. Greg Bear

However far modern science and techniques have fallen short of their inherent possibilities, they have taught mankind at least one lesson; nothing is impossible. Lewis Mumford

Tax dollars intended for science education must not be used to teach creationism as any sort of real explanation of nature, because any observation or process of inference about our origin and the nature of the universe disproves creationism in every respect. Bill Nye

Innovation, especially in America, is continuing at a breakneck pace, even in areas facing substantial political or regulatory headwinds. The advances in health care in particular are breathtaking - so many selfless souls are working to advance science, and this is heartening. Michael Burry

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. Charles Darwin

In the post-enlightenment Europe of the 19th century the highest authority was no longer the Church. Instead it was science. Thus was born racial anti-Semitism, based on two disciplines regarded as science in their day - the 'scientific study of race' and the Social Darwinism of Herbert Spencer and Ernst Haeckel. Jonathan Sacks

Language, philosophy, and science are interwoven into the design of words, which are manipulated to create surprising illusions. John Langdon

In Israel, a land lacking in natural resources, we learned to appreciate our greatest national advantage: our minds. Through creativity and innovation, we transformed barren deserts into flourishing fields and pioneered new frontiers in science and technology. Shimon Peres

The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite. Thomas Sowell

Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway. Mary Kay Ash

Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground-floor. But if a man hasn't got plenty of good common sense, the more science he has, the worse for his patient. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Knowledge of the sciences is so much smoke apart from the heavenly science of Christ. John Calvin

Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions. Gregory Bateson

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. Margaret Atwood

All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers, so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers. James C. Maxwell

Science ignores the spiritual realm because it is not amenable to scientific analysis. As importantly, the predictive success of Newtonian theory, emphasizing the primacy of a physical Universe, made the existence of spirit and God an extraneous hypothesis that offered no explanatory principles needed by science. Bruce Lipton

Even in our day, science suspects beyond the Polar seas, at the very circle of the Arctic Pole, the existence of a sea which never freezes and a continent which is ever green. Helena Blavatsky

Cosmos' wouldn't deserve its place in primetime evening network television were it not a landscape on which compelling stories were told. People, when they watch TV in the evening, want to see stories, and science simply tells the best stories. Neil deGrasse Tyson

So I decided on science when I was in college. Sally Ride

I'm frustrated with Hollywood and television and the movies because they see science fiction as an excuse for eye candy, for lots of great special effects. David Gerrold

I decry the current tendency to seek patents on algorithms. There are better ways to earn a living than to prevent other people from making use of one's contributions to computer science. Donald Knuth

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. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics. Stephen Hawking

Science is a perception of the world around us. Science is a place where what you find in nature pleases you. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

When you start a company, it's more an art than a science because it's totally unknown. Instead of solving high-profile problems, try to solve something that's deeply personal to you. Ideally, if you're an ordinary person and you've just solved your problem, you might have solved the problem for millions of people. Brian Chesky

Advertising is fundamentally persuasion and persuasion happens to be not a science, but an art. William Bernbach

If God is the mystery of the universe, these mysteries, we're tackling these mysteries one by one. If you're going to stay religious at the end of the conversation, God has to mean more to you than just where science has yet to tread. Neil deGrasse Tyson

What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on. Jacques Yves Cousteau

Science progresses best when observations force us to alter our preconceptions. Vera Rubin

The credit which the apparent conformity with recognized scientific standards can gain for seemingly simple but false theories may, as the present instance shows, have grave consequences. Friedrich August von Hayek

We don't regard any scientific theory as the absolute truth. Kenneth R. Miller

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. Aleister Crowley

Science is based on reproducibility and manufactured objectivity. As strong as that makes its ability to generate claims about matter and energy, it also makes scientific knowledge inapplicable to the existential, visceral nature of human life, which is unique and subjective and unpredictable. Paul Kalanithi

The question that I started off with was, I thought, very simple. It was just 'Is there a massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way?' But one of the things I love about science is that you always end up with new questions. Andrea M. Ghez

Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts. Henry Adams

Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. John Dewey

Sometime in the future, science will be able to create realities that we can't even begin to imagine. As we evolve, we'll be able to construct other information systems that correspond to other realities, universes based on logic completely different from ours and not based on space and time. Robert Lanza

Science, already oppressive with its shocking revelations, will perhaps be the ultimate exterminator of our human species - if separate species we be - for its reserve of unguessed horrors could never be borne by mortal brains if loosed upon the world. H. P. Lovecraft

Mild autism can give you a genius like Einstein. If you have severe autism, you could remain nonverbal. You don't want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. But if you got rid of all the autism genetics, you wouldn't have science or art. All you would have is a bunch of social 'yak yaks.' Temple Grandin

Science, as illustrated by the printing press, the telegraph, the railway, is a double-edged sword. At the same moment that it puts an enormous power in the hands of the good man, it also offers an equal advantage to the evil disposed. Richard Jefferies

There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick. Robert A. Heinlein

It is science, and not religion, which has taught men that things are complex and difficult to understand. Emile Durkheim

Make-believe colors the past with innocent distortion, and it swirls ahead of us in a thousand ways in science, in politics, in every bold intention. Shirley Temple

I'm not much of a math and science guy. I spent most of my time in school daydreaming and managed to turn it into a living. George Lucas

Science is based solely on doubt-based, disinterested examination of the natural and physical world. It is entirely independent of personal belief. There is a very important, fundamental concomitant - that is to accept absolutely nothing whatsoever, for which there is no evidence, as having any fundamental validity. Harry Kroto

We're not a vocational school. If someone wants to get a high-paying job, I would hope that there are easier ways to do it than working through a formal computer science curriculum. Philip Greenspun

Germany has reduced savagery to a science, and this great war for the victorious peace of justice must go on until the German cancer is cut clean out of the world body. Theodore Roosevelt

Perhaps it would be better for science, that all criticism should be avowed. Charles Babbage

Pure phenomenology claims to be the science of pure phenomena. This concept of the phenomenon, which was developed under various names as early as the eighteenth century without being clarified, is what we shall have to deal with first of all. Edmund Husserl

As a songwriter, pop music really is a love and a joy and a science, and I feel like a lot of people look at pop music with a very formulaic perspective in numbers and patterns, but an outsider would think that the process is very natural. Halsey

If we wish to make a new world we have the material ready. The first one, too, was made out of chaos. Robert Quillen

The essence of science is independent thinking, hard work, and not equipment. When I got my Nobel Prize, I had spent hardly 200 rupees on my equipment. C. V. Raman

Science fiction is no more written for scientists that ghost stories are written for ghosts. Brian Aldiss

The kitchen's a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. It's biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, there's history. Yes, there's artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science. Alton Brown

The main purpose of science is simplicity and as we understand more things, everything is becoming simpler. Edward Teller

The theory of relativity worked out by Mr. Einstein, which is in the domain of natural science, I believe can also be applied to the political field. Both democracy and human rights are relative concepts - and not absolute and general. Jiang Zemin

Science is the systematic classification of experience. George Henry Lewes

The scientific community should work as hard as possible to address major issues that affect our everyday lives such as climate change, infectious diseases and counterterrorism; in particular, 'clean energy' research deserves far higher priority. And science and technology are the prime routes to tackling these issues. Martin Rees

Of course, the American education system is very inefficient in many ways compared to other countries in Europe or Japan, but it works in such a way that at least the few people who are going onto unusual careers and science can manage to get into that, even though they go through an earlier stage that doesn't give them much. John Forbes Nash, Jr.

The science linking the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather to the climate crisis has matured tremendously in the last couple of years. Al Gore

Science is an enterprise that should be cherished as an activity of the free human mind. Because it transforms who we are, how we live, and it gives us an understanding of our place in the universe. Neil deGrasse Tyson

When I die, I'm leaving my body to science fiction. Steven Wright

Fine arts education in public schools is really abysmal. The same emphasis should be put on music, theater, dance - anything creative - that's put on math and science. Maren Morris

Experience by itself is not science. Edmund Husserl

Our vision is to rediscover the spirit of the Renaissance, create a new discipline where engineering for cultural heritage is actually a symbol of blending art and science together. Maurizio Seracini

Fantasy is totally wide open; all you really have to do is follow the rules you've set. But if you're writing about science, you have to first learn what you're writing about. Octavia Butler

Go beyond science, into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived both inwardly and outwardly. Swami Sivananda

Curiosity - the rover and the concept - is what science is all about: the quest to reveal the unknown. Ahmed Zewail

The whole point of science fiction is that you explore the effect of ideas on a society. Peter F. Hamilton

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Barbara Tuchman

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition. Rod Serling

For more than 200 years, materialists have promised that science will eventually explain everything in terms of physics and chemistry. Believers are sustained by the faith that scientific discoveries will justify their beliefs. Rupert Sheldrake

If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits? Carl Sagan

I read science, because to me, that's extremely exciting. It's like a great detective story, and it's happening right in front of us. Alan Alda

Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition. Alan Turing

People think I'm girlish and flippant, but I was an honours student. I was voted Girl Most Likely To Succeed at North Mesquite High in Texas. My best subject was science. I won a scholarship. Jerry Hall

If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that it is impossible, he is very probably wrong. Arthur C. Clarke

The mysteriousness and mystique of space is such, that science fiction attempts to tantalize you by telling you a story that could possibly be out there and that's the appeal of science fiction. William Shatner

Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television, and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science, engineering, and exploration. Jeff Bezos

Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve. Max Planck

Global Warming: It is a hoax. It is bad science. It is high-jacking public policy. It is the greatest scam in history. John Coleman

The science of today is the technology of tomorrow. Edward Teller

The big journals and Nobel laureates are the equivalent of Congressional leaders in science journalism. Michael Pollan

Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things like crystals and rocks are really almost entirely composed of empty space. And the familiar illustration is the nucleus of an atom is a fly in the middle of a sports stadium, and the next atom is in the next sports stadium. Richard Dawkins

Science is a method to keep yourself from kidding yourself. Edwin Land

I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve. Charles Lindbergh

The indigenous peoples never had, and still do not have, the place that they should have occupied in the progress and benefits of science and technology, although they represented an important basis for this development. Rigoberta Menchu

Nothing retains less of desire in art, in science, than this will to industry, booty, possession. Andre Breton

It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals; let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians. Henrik Ibsen

The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired. Stephen Hawking

I've always been a big fan of science fiction and of the worlds of the spiritual and the mystic. Dan Aykroyd

I saw science as being in harmony with humanity. Joseph Rotblat

It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they were found because it was possible to find them. J. Robert Oppenheimer

Economists want their discipline to be a science, and they have nailed down a few precepts, but many of their debates are still clouded by ideology. Nathan Myhrvold

In the past, there was active discrimination against women in science. That has now gone, and although there are residual effects, these are not enough to account for the small numbers of women, particularly in mathematics and physics. Stephen Hawking

Science has nothing in common with religion. Facts and miracles never did and never will agree. Robert Green Ingersoll

They have seized upon the government by bribery and corruption. They have made speculation and public robbery a science. They have loaded the nation, the state, the county, and the city with debt. Denis Kearney

Science is about unravelling nature. N. R. Narayana Murthy

A river is a river, independent of whether there are other rivers nearby. In science, we call things what they are based on their attributes, not what they're next to. Alan Stern

There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nikola Tesla

To mistrust science and deny the validity of scientific method is to resign your job as a human. You'd better go look for work as a plant or wild animal. P. J. O'Rourke

We're going to be focusing our science on things that will take us farther and longer into space. For many of those experiments, the crew members are human guinea pigs, which is fine; that's part of my job. I don't mind being a human guinea pig. John L. Phillips

I do not believe in God; his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men. Jean-Paul Sartre

Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics. Stephen Hawking

Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery, and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your tickets the nearer your approach to this certainty. Adam Smith

I really like being pregnant. Not that there aren't things I don't love, but when I think about what my body is doing - creating a child - it just blows my mind. I'm in awe of the process and science. Emily Deschanel

Women tend to be more intuitive, or to admit to being intuitive, and maybe the hard science approach isn't so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that. Jane Goodall

You can believe what you want religiously. Religion is one thing, but science, provable science, is something else. Bill Nye

Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared. And the country's scared. Barack Obama

If spiritual science is to do the same for spirit that natural science has done for nature, it must investigate quite differently from the latter. It must find ways and means of penetrating into the sphere of the spiritual, a domain which cannot be perceived with outer physical senses nor apprehended with the intellect which is bound to the brain. Rudolf Steiner

Comparing science and religion isn't like comparing apples and oranges - it's more like apples and sewing machines. Jack Horner

Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence. Edgar Allan Poe

Scientific research is one of the most exciting and rewarding of occupations. Frederick Sanger

I'm not a big fan of journalism schools, except those that are organized around a liberal arts education. Have an understanding of history, economics and political science - and then learn to write. Tom Brokaw

Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view. Walter Gilbert

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. Thomas A. Edison

Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science. Blaise Pascal

I write reviews of science books for the Boston Globe, so I like to give science books. Anthony Doerr

I played lots of games, and I was a fan of gaming, so I was always looking for new games. I was also a science fiction and fantasy fan, growing up, in games and books and movies. Duncan Jones

Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians, poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians. They also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world. But if it hadn't been computer science, these people would have been doing amazing things in other fields. Steve Jobs

Every technology, every science that tells us more about ourselves, is scary at the time. Rodney Brooks

Scientific knowledge is a kind of discourse. Jean-Francois Lyotard

Economics is not a science; it is a quasi-religion: part superstition, part mystique, part sentimentality. Bankers dream like other men, the only difference being that when their dreams turn to nightmares, we all lose sleep. There can be no trusting the muttering of any prelate when it comes to money. Howard Jacobson

I think of it as a good opportunity to let, in particular, school kids know that this job and other interesting jobs in science and engineering are open to anyone who works hard in school and gets a good education and studies math and science. And that it's not just for a select group of people. Ellen Ochoa

A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education. George Bernard Shaw

Everyone in the astronaut program has a degree in a science field. The crew are the ones who do the experiments, help to design some of the experiments that come from other primary researchers. So it becomes very important that you have a science background. Mae Jemison

If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic. Ursula K. Le Guin

Game theory is a branch of, originally, applied mathematics, used mostly in economics and political science, a little bit in biology, that gives us a mathematical taxonomy of social life, and it predicts what people are likely to do and believe others will do in cases where everyone's actions affect everyone else. Colin Camerer

I think the novel is not so much a literary genre, but a literary space, like a sea that is filled by many rivers. The novel receives streams of science, philosophy, poetry and contains all of these; it's not simply telling a story. Jose Saramago

Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena. Wilhelm Reich

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. Ansel Adams

Asteroids have us in our sight. The dinosaurs didn't have a space program, so they're not here to talk about this problem. We are, and we have the power to do something about it. I don't want to be the embarrassment of the galaxy, to have had the power to deflect an asteroid, and then not, and end up going extinct. Neil deGrasse Tyson

We must not be afraid to push boundaries; instead, we should leverage our science and our technology, together with our creativity and our curiosity, to solve the world's problems. Jason Silva

Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today - but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all. Isaac Asimov

There is no science in creativity. If you don't give yourself room to fail, you won't innovate. Bob Iger

Quantum mechanics broke the mold of the previous framework, classical mechanics, by establishing that the predictions of science are necessarily probabilistic. Brian Greene

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science. Albert Einstein

Many of us like to think of financial economics as a science, but complex events like the financial crisis suggest that this conceit may be more wishful thinking than reality. Andrew Lo

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? Richard P. Feynman

Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another. Thomas Hobbes

Anthropology demands the open-mindedness with which one must look and listen, record in astonishment and wonder that which one would not have been able to guess. Margaret Mead

Humanity has experienced many revolutionary changes over the course of history: revolutions in agriculture, in science, industrial production, as well as numerous political revolutions. But these have all been limited to the external aspects of our individual and collective lives. Daisaku Ikeda

Carl Sagan spoke fluently between biology and geology and astrophysics and physics. If you move fluently across those boundaries, you realize that science is everywhere; science is not something you can step around or sweep under the rug. Neil deGrasse Tyson

In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms. Stephen Jay Gould

No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong. Albert Einstein

Business is not a science; it is not susceptible to experiments that can be controlled and replicated. Everything in business is too unpredictable for that - every business, employee, product, market is different and keeps changing. Margaret Heffernan

Science may never come up with a better office communication system than the coffee break. Earl Wilson

Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don't know. Bertrand Russell

According to materialistic science, any memory requires a material substrate, such as the neuronal network in the brain or the DNA molecules of the genes. Stanislav Grof

What I thought would be fun would be Squirrel Girl being this computer science student, working in STEM, because you don't see a lot of characters there, never mind female characters. Also, I studied computer science, so it's not too hard to write. Ryan North

Science and art, or by the same token, poetry and prose differ from one another like a journey and an excursion. The purpose of the journey is its goal, the purpose of an excursion is the process. Franz Grillparzer

Small science, which includes most research in the life sciences all over the world, is science directed usually by an individual senior scientist and a small team of junior associates, perhaps three, ten, fifteen, something in that order. Daniel Nathans

One of the greatest features of science is that it doesn't matter where you were born, and it doesn't matter what the belief systems of your parents might have been: If you perform the same experiment that someone else did, at a different time and place, you'll get the same result. Neil deGrasse Tyson

The things that I've enjoyed most are not really science fiction. They are not much fun to make because there are so many toys involved. They are fun for directors who like toys, like Ridley Scott, but they are not a lot of fun to make. A lot of hanging around, changing this and that. John Hurt

No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power. Jacob Bronowski

What we see today is an American economy that has boomed because of policies and developments of the 1950s and '60s: the interstate-highway system, massive funding for science and technology, a public-education system that was the envy of the world and generous immigration policies. Fareed Zakaria

So often, science fiction helps to get young people interested in science. That's why I don't mind talking about science fiction. It has a real role to play: to seize the imagination. Michio Kaku

Blind faith, no matter how passionately expressed, will not suffice. Science for its part will test relentlessly every assumption about the human condition. E. O. Wilson

Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion. Stephen Hawking

In order to displace a prevailing theory or paradigm in science, it is not enough to merely point out what it cannot explain; you have to offer a new theory that explains more data, and do so in a testable way. Michael Shermer

GIS, in its digital manifestation of geography, goes beyond just the science. It provides us a framework and a process for applying geography. It brings together observational science and measurement and integrates it with modeling and prediction, analysis, and interpretation so that we can understand things. Jack Dangermond

This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it. Thomas Dekker

What underlies great science is what underlies great art, whether it is visual or written, and that is the ability to distinguish patterns out of chaos. Diana Gabaldon

In England, an inventor is regarded almost as a crazy man, and in too many instances, invention ends in disappointment and poverty. In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth. Oscar Wilde

I'll bring colleges and industry together to develop new products in marine science, green technology, and medical devices, and to train our workers to fill those jobs... We need to get Rhode Islanders back to work. Gina Raimondo

Observation is a passive science, experimentation an active science. Claude Bernard

Science is his forte, and omniscience his foible. Sydney Smith

He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars. William Blake

Science fiction is about worlds you don't know and worlds you can create, like in 'Avatar'. Paul Verhoeven

In the big picture, architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives. Bjarke Ingels

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. Albert Einstein

Science is one of the comparative advantages of our knowledge-based economy, and focusing on our prowess in providing better tools to address diseases of poverty is one of the best forms of foreign aid. Seth Berkley

Star Wars' is more fairy tale than true science fiction. Mark Hamill

All the instruments of percussion known to European science are essentially nonmusical and can only be tolerated in open air music or in large orchestras where a little noise more or less makes no difference. C. V. Raman

Northeastern and most coastal states will vote for the candidate who is more closely aligned with international cooperation and engagement, secularism and science, gun control, individual freedom in culture and sexuality, and a greater role for the government in protecting the environment and ensuring economic equality. Steven Pinker

How any government could promote the Vardy academies in the North-East of England is absolutely beyond me. Tony Blair defends them on grounds of diversity, but it should be unthinkable in the 21st century to have a school whose head of science believes the world is less than 10,000 years old. Richard Dawkins

Science is an international enterprise where discoveries in one part of the world are useful in other parts. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan

Genomic science, as the newest frontier in scholarly research, is throwing open the door to a revolutionary way of approaching our health, the health and welfare of animals, and the sustainability of our environment. John Sharp

Tracing the beginnings of the interwoven stories of science can be arbitrary, as beginnings are so often lost in the mists of time. Elizabeth Blackburn

The man of science has learned to believe in justification, not by faith, but by verification. Thomas Huxley

One of the lessons I have learned in the different stages of my career is that science is not done alone. It is through talking with others and sharing that progress is made. Carol W. Greider

Fundamentalist Christians, adhering to what is termed 'creation science,' loudly promote the scientific accuracy of the Bible, but they sift or reinterpret science through the tiny mesh of their ideological filter. Not much real science gets through. Hugh Ross

The birth of science rang the death-knell of an arbitrary and constantly interposing Supreme Power. Annie Besant

There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience. And then there is California. Edward Abbey

Many who have had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confuse it with arithmetic, and consider it an arid science. In reality, however, it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination. Sofia Kovalevskaya

The universe is made of stories, not of atoms. Muriel Rukeyser

Neuroscience is by far the most exciting branch of science because the brain is the most fascinating object in the universe. Every human brain is different - the brain makes each human unique and defines who he or she is. Stanley B. Prusiner

Biochemistry is the science of life. All our life processes - walking, talking, moving, feeding - are essentially chemical reactions. So biochemistry is actually the chemistry of life, and it's supremely interesting. Aaron Ciechanover

Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it. Edmund Hillary

Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century. J. G. Ballard

While that amendment failed, human cloning continues to advance and the breakthrough in this unethical and morally questionable science is around the corner. Mike Pence

There's been some research in cognitive science, I'm told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it's white noise. Christopher Hitchens

Science is organized knowledge. Herbert Spencer

We want to answer this classical question, who am I? So I think that most of our works are for art, or whatever we do, including science or religion, tried to answer that question. Paulo Coelho

Anthropology was the science that gave her the platform from which she surveyed, scolded and beamed at the world. Jane Howard

Religion, art, and science flourish best in a free society. True, freedom does not afford much opportunity for grand gestures. It has little room for martyrs. But life is not supposed to be about dying well. It is about living well. Virginia Postrel

I got to spend all of my time every day at work reading and editing papers about cutting-edge technical research and getting paid for it. Then I'd go home at night and turn what I learned into science fiction stories. Kevin J. Anderson

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out. Stephen Hawking

Biology, meaning the science of all life, is a late notion. Leon Kass

I have seen firsthand that agricultural science has enormous potential to increase the yields of small farmers and lift them out of hunger and poverty. Bill Gates

For the future, primarily, we must educate people in science, engineering, technology and math. Buzz Aldrin

Architecture is a science arising out of many other sciences, and adorned with much and varied learning; by the help of which a judgment is formed of those works which are the result of other arts. Vitruvius

Creativity is essential to particle physics, cosmology, and to mathematics, and to other fields of science, just as it is to its more widely acknowledged beneficiaries - the arts and humanities. Lisa Randall

All science is either physics or stamp collecting. Ernest Rutherford

The great tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact. Thomas Huxley

I wrote somewhere during the Cold War that I sometimes wish the Iron Curtain were much taller than it is, so that you could see whether the development of science with no communication was parallel on the two sides. In this case it certainly wasn't. Thomas Gold

It must be admitted that science has its castes. The man whose chief apparatus is the differential equation looks down upon one who uses a galvanometer, and he in turn upon those who putter about with sticky and smelly things in test tubes. Gilbert Newton Lewis

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it. Albert Einstein

You could get an entire computer science education for free right now. Sebastian Thrun

There was no 'before' the beginning of our universe, because once upon a time there was no time. John D. Barrow

Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science. Although women have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men. Amelia Earhart

In those parts of the world where learning and science has prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in those parts of it as are barbarous and ignorant, miracles are still in vogue. Ethan Allen

Fiction is not necessarily about what you know, it's about how you feel. That is the truth about fiction, and the other truth is that all science is a tool, and we use our tools not to actualise what we know, but to implement how we feel. Margaret Atwood

The method of political science is the interpretation of life; its instrument is insight, a nice understanding of subtle, unformulated conditions. Woodrow Wilson

If anyone offers conjectures about the truth of things from the mere possibility of hypotheses, I do not see by what stipulation anything certain can be determined in any science, since one or another set of hypotheses may always be devised which will appear to supply new difficulties. Isaac Newton

Let it be understood, in the first place, that a science fiction story must be an exposition of a scientific theme and it must be also a story. Hugo Gernsback

One of the things that all religions have is a narrative of doomsday. There has to be some kind of overarching fear of the future. If there wasn't, none of the religions could invoke this important thing - that science has no evidence of, by the way - called free will. Greg Graffin

I think the combination of graduate education in a field like Computer Science and the opportunity to apply this in a work environment like Microsoft is what drove me. The impact these opportunities create can lead to work that has broad, worldwide impact. Satya Nadella

Prior to inventing the Geyser Tube toy, dropping a stack of Mentos into a bottle of soda was not always an easy task. The Geyser Tube makes it easy to get a perfect launch every time at heights of 30 feet or more. Tell me... who doesn't like to see soda shooting 30 feet into the air, all in the name of science? Steve Spangler

Boxing is a great example of it, but in football, sometimes you're taking greater hits than boxers. When you have one man going full speed against another man, and those heads are colliding, it's just the fact of science you're going to have results. Jim Brown

Hitting is an art, but not an exact science. Rod Carew

Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage. H. L. Mencken

Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided. Paracelsus

I like to learn. That's an art and a science. Katherine Johnson

Like all science, psychology is knowledge; and like science again, it is knowledge of a definite thing, the mind. James Mark Baldwin

Sometimes people talk about conflict between humans and machines, and you can see that in a lot of science fiction. But the machines we're creating are not some invasion from Mars. We create these tools to expand our own reach. Ray Kurzweil

There's a snobbery at work in architecture. The subject is too often treated as a fine art, delicately wrapped in mumbo-jumbo. In reality, it's an all-embracing discipline taking in science, art, maths, engineering, climate, nature, politics, economics. Norman Foster

When I was a young girl, I was so crazy about animals that I wanted to do something associated with them, and I thought of being a vet. But then again, I figured I had to go to medical school, and science wasn't a good subject for me, so I dropped the idea pretty soon and thought maybe I could be a vet's assistant. Olivia Newton-John

For an object under the eye will appear very different from the same object placed above it; in an inclosed space, very different from the same in an open space. Vitruvius

The absolute worst thing that you ever can do, in my opinion, in bringing science to the general public, is be condescending or judgmental. It is so opposite to the way science needs to be brought forth. Brian Greene

After I had this idea to be Bill Nye the Science Guy, I wore straight ties the first couple times, and then I got this thing going and I started wearing bow ties. Bill Nye

Science never solves a problem without creating ten more. George Bernard Shaw

Nothing guarantees that reasonable people will agree about everything, of course, but the unreasonable are certain to be divided by their dogmas. It is time we recognized that this spirit of mutual inquiry, which is the foundation of all real science, is the very antithesis of religious faith. Sam Harris

Looking ahead, I believe that the underlying importance of higher education, of science, of technology, of research and scholarship to our quality of life, to the strength of our economy, to our security in many dimensions will continue to be the most important message. Charles Vest

I really believe in science. It is a faith. It is a reverence akin to religion. But as we always say, it's different from religion in that, as near as we can tell, it exists outside of us. It has an objective quality, the process of science. Bill Nye

It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover. Henri Poincare

Science sent the Hubble telescope out into space, so it could capture light and the absence thereof, from the very beginning of time. And the telescope really did that. So now we know that there was once absolutely nothing, such a perfect nothing that there wasn't even nothing or once. Kurt Vonnegut

Healing,' Papa would tell me, 'is not a science, but the intuitive art of wooing nature.' W. H. Auden

I actually started off majoring in computer science, but I knew right away I wasn't going to stay with it. It was because I had this one professor who was the loneliest, saddest man I've ever known. He was a programmer, and I knew that I didn't want to do whatever he did. So after that, I switched to Communications. J. Cole

Boys do not evaluate a book. They divide books into categories. There are sexy books, war books, westerns, travel books, science fiction. A boy will accept anything from a section he knows rather than risk another sort. He has to have the label on the bottle to know it is the mixture as before. William Golding

It is a shock to us in the twentieth century to discover, from observations science has made, that the fundamental mechanisms of life cannot be ascribed to natural selection, and therefore were designed. But we must deal with our shock as best we can and go on. Michael Behe

We must revisit the idea that science is a methodology and not an ontology. Deepak Chopra

Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within. Stephen Jay Gould

There is nothing which can better deserve your patronage, than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness. George Washington

Imagination is the Discovering Faculty, pre-eminently. It is that which penetrates into the unseen worlds around us, the worlds of Science. Ada Lovelace

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science. Stephen Hawking

There is no science in this world like physics. Nothing comes close to the precision with which physics enables you to understand the world around you. It's the laws of physics that allow us to say exactly what time the sun is going to rise. What time the eclipse is going to begin. What time the eclipse is going to end. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Baking is both an art and a science. Sherry Yard

As in biomedical science, pioneering industrial inventions have not been mothered by necessity. Rather, inventions for which there was no commercial use only later became the commercial airplanes, xerography and lasers on which modern society depends. Arthur Kornberg

Philip Kitcher thinks that mathematics is surprisingly like empirical science. Few mathematicians would agree; philosophers too, from Socrates on, have held the opposite opinion. Ian Hacking

If you go into science, I think you better go in with a dream that maybe you, too, will get a Nobel Prize. It's not that I went in and I thought I was very bright and I was going to get one, but I'll confess, you know, I knew what it was. James D. Watson

Truth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one. Konrad Lorenz

The science tells us that if we fail to reduce global warming pollution, global temperatures will rise to dangerous levels and unleash devastating extreme weather events and accelerate destructive sea level rise. Frances Beinecke

The most important thing we can do is inspire young minds and to advance the kind of science, math and technology education that will help youngsters take us to the next phase of space travel. John Glenn

That's one of those things about being a computer science major: Valentine's Day is just another day. Jawed Karim

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have great faith in the future of books - no matter what form they may take - and of science fiction. Connie Willis

I've always loved science fiction. I think the smartest writers are science fiction writers dealing with major things. Walter Mosley

Modern bodybuilding is ritual, religion, sport, art, and science, awash in Western chemistry and mathematics. Defying nature, it surpasses it. Camille Paglia

I hope I have helped to raise the profile of science and to show that physics is not a mystery but can be understood by ordinary people. Stephen Hawking

I like science fiction and physics, things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes, and the various vortexes that create possibility, and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man, and that's why I'm attracted to it. Wesley Snipes

Wisdom alone is the science of other sciences. Plato

In science, if you don't do it, somebody else will. Whereas in art, if Beethoven didn't compose the 'Ninth Symphony,' no one else before or after is going to compose the 'Ninth Symphony' that he composed; no one else is going to paint 'Starry Night' by van Gogh. Neil deGrasse Tyson

It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet. Wernher von Braun

Science is not a thing. It's a verb. It's a way of thinking about things. It's a way of looking for natural explanations for all phenomena. Michael Shermer

The proper study of mankind is the science of design. Herbert Simon

Science is magic that works. Kurt Vonnegut

Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise. Ivan Pavlov

Religion asks you to believe things without questioning, and technology and science always encourage you to ask hard questions and why it is important in science and technology. So I was always interested in science and technology. Vinod Khosla

Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition. Adam Smith

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. Isaac Asimov

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. Carl Sagan

Grades can matter, especially for those students and parents who live for the next round of applications to graduate or professional schools. But there's a problem with the grade emphasis. Math or science graduates earn more than students majoring in the humanities. Amity Shlaes

Ever since the Industrial Revolution, investments in science and technology have proved to be reliable engines of economic growth. If homegrown interest in those fields is not regenerated soon, the comfortable lifestyle to which Americans have become accustomed will draw to a rapid close. Neil deGrasse Tyson

My platform has been to reach reluctant readers. And one of the best ways I found to motivate them is to connect them with reading that interests them, to expand the definition of reading to include humor, science fiction/fantasy, nonfiction, graphic novels, wordless books, audio books and comic books. Jon Scieszka

In many spheres of human endeavor, from science to business to education to economic policy, good decisions depend on good measurement. Ben Bernanke

Science is like a love affair with nature; an elusive, tantalising mistress. It has all the turbulence, twists and turns of romantic love, but that's part of the game. Vilayanur S. Ramachandran

I think the perception of there being a deep gulf between science and the humanities is false. Clifford Geertz

Science is the search for truth, that is the effort to understand the world: it involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality. Linus Pauling

If you have children, you cannot feed them forever with flags for breakfast and cartridges for lunch. You need something more substantial. Unless you educate your children and spend less money on conflicts, unless you develop your science, technology and industry, you don't have a future. Shimon Peres

There must be right and wrong answers to questions of morality and values that potentially fall within the purview of science. On this view, some people and cultures will be right (to a greater or lesser degree), and some will be wrong, with respect to what they deem important in life. Sam Harris

I hate to tell you this, but you will never actually go to a galaxy far, far away and encounter Darth Vader. That's science fiction; it isn't going to happen. Margaret Atwood

So fantasy was fine early on, and when I discovered science fiction, I was very happy with it, because my first interest in science fiction came with an interest in astronomy. Octavia Butler

I think that prog rock is the science fiction of music. Science fiction speculates on what the future might be and look like and how we'll get there, and yet there's always a central theme of humanity, or there should be. Progressive rock has the same concept of exploration into the parts of the music world that hasn't been explored. William Shatner

Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that's precise, predictive and reliable - a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional. Brian Greene

In mathematics and science, there is no difference in the intelligence of men and women. The difference in genes between men and women is simply the Y chromosome, which has nothing to do with intelligence. Christiane Nusslein-Volhard

Is there anything science should not try to explain? Science is knowledge and knowledge is power - power to do good or evil. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. Paul Davies

Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer. Jamie Zawinski

GIS is waking up the world to the power of geography, this science of integration, and has the framework for creating a better future. Jack Dangermond

Economics is not an exact science. It's a combination of an art and elements of science. And that's almost the first and last lesson to be learned about economics: that in my judgment, we are not converging toward exactitude, but we're improving our data bases and our ways of reasoning about them. Paul Samuelson

Just as the science and art of agriculture depend upon chemistry and botany, so the art of education depends upon physiology and psychology. Edward Thorndike

My brother is an electrical engineer and went to computer science grad school at Stanford, and he'd tell me stories about the happy hours he'd organize. Alec Berg

Indeed, in view of its function, religion stands in greater need of a rational foundation of its ultimate principles than even the dogmas of science. Muhammad Iqbal

Man has to awaken to wonder - and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again. Ludwig Wittgenstein

Today's recording techniques would have been regarded as science fiction forty years ago. Tony Visconti

Paleoanthropology is not a science that ends with the discovery of a bone. One has to have the original to work with. It is a life-long task. Richard Leakey

My preparation is about precision. It is a science. Conor McGregor

Nothing is less predictable than the development of an active scientific field. Charles Francis Richter

Vaccines and antibiotics have made many infectious diseases a thing of the past; we've come to expect that public health and modern science can conquer all microbes. But nature is a formidable adversary. Tom Frieden

Surgical Anatomy is, to the student of medicine and surgery, the most essential branch of anatomical science, having reference more especially to an accurate knowledge of the more important regions, and consisting in the application of anatomy generally to the practice of surgery. Henry Gray

Psychology is the science of the intellects, characters and behavior of animals including man. Edward Thorndike

Modern science says: 'The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.' From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom. Nikola Tesla

Neither science, nor the politics in power, nor the mass media, nor business, nor the law nor even the military are in a position to define or control risks rationally. Ulrich Beck

To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science. Isaac Newton

Science can improve lives in ways that are elegant in design and moving in practice. Harold E. Varmus

Science literacy is the artery through which the solutions of tomorrow's problems flow. Neil deGrasse Tyson

On education, in order to ensure that America remains a world leader, we must create an educated, skilled workforce in the vital areas of science, math, engineering and information technology. At the same time, we must give every student access to a college degree. John F. Tierney

It's a combination of science, maintenance, and general housekeeping. And then, occasionally, robotics activities or a spacewalk you might get to do. Scott Kelly

The science of psychology has been far more successful on the negative than on the positive side... It has revealed to us much about man's shortcomings, his illnesses, his sins, but little about his potentialities, his virtues, his achievable aspirations, or his psychological health. Abraham Maslow

The image of the scientist who puts the pursuit of truth before anything else has been shattered and replaced by a man on the make or a quasi-religious enthusiast who wants to prove his case at any cost. Science is becoming the tool of campaigning warfare, in which truth is the first casualty. Paul Johnson

Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back. Bill Nye

Logic is neither an art nor a science but a dodge. Stendhal

The disturbing truth about science communication is that we have theories and ways of delivering messages that really are like putting a candle to the dark, as Carl Sagan would say. We aren't sure what will work, when, or how much. But for all that uncertainty, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Kyle Hill

Each problem that I solved became a rule, which served afterwards to solve other problems. Rene Descartes

Science is only truly consistent with an atheistic worldview with regards to the claimed miracles of the gods of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Lawrence M. Krauss

Art and science have so much in common - the process of trial and error, finding something new and innovative, and to experiment and succeed in a breakthrough. Peter M. Brant

It seems obvious that if a species has the brainpower for speech, along with the sort of appendages that can manipulate a pair of pliers, it will eventually blunder into science, technology, and radio. Seth Shostak

How thoroughly it is ingrained in mathematical science that every real advance goes hand in hand with the invention of sharper tools and simpler methods which, at the same time, assist in understanding earlier theories and in casting aside some more complicated developments. David Hilbert

I say you don't need religion, or political ideology, to understand human nature. Science reveals that human nature is greedy and selfish, altruistic and helpful. Michael Shermer

The doctor has been taught to be interested not in health but in disease. What the public is taught is that health is the cure for disease. Ashley Montagu

Why do we do basic research? To learn about ourselves. Walter Gilbert

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. Bruce Feirstein

The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing - that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world - is what I wish for all. Fidel Castro

Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character. Albert Einstein

The depressing thing about battery technology is that it gets better, but it gets better slowly. There are a whole bunch of problems in materials science and chemistry that come in trying to make existing batteries better. Nathan Myhrvold

That's the whole problem with science. You've got a bunch of empiricists trying to describe things of unimaginable wonder. Bill Watterson

You don't need a science degree to understand about science. You just need to think about it. Bill Bryson

Political ideology can corrupt the mind, and science. E. O. Wilson

Facts are the air of scientists. Without them you can never fly. Linus Pauling

It's important that our children are raised to be educated, well-rounded tax-paying citizens that understand the importance of technology and science. Bill Nye

Science moves with the spirit of an adventure characterized both by youthful arrogance and by the belief that the truth, once found, would be simple as well as pretty. James D. Watson

There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science. Louis Pasteur

I think we're all fascinated and a little mystified by how the brain works. One of the most mysterious of the physical sciences is neurological science. Alexis Denisof

I was a good student with mathematical ability and interests. As such, I took the usual college preparatory program in high school for one looking to become an engineer: all the available courses in mathematics and science. Dale T. Mortensen

I like to think of it as this new field. Instead of computer science, it's going to be virtual science. Brendan Iribe

People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on eachother, like a wall of mini stones. Donald Knuth

I've always felt that the human-centered approach to computer science leads to more interesting, more exotic, more wild, and more heroic adventures than the machine-supremacy approach, where information is the highest goal. Jaron Lanier

When I investigate and when I discover that the forces of the heavens and the planets are within ourselves, then truly I seem to be living among the gods. Leon Battista Alberti

Economics is a strange science. Our subject deals with some of the most important as well as mundane issues that impinge on the human condition. Dale T. Mortensen

Kids are different from adults. They are not as developed as far as brain science, controlling impulses, and maturity, and fall prey to all kinds of pressures. Greg Boyle

We need to have making, including computer science, shop, etc. as part of the core curriculum from the beginning, not just an optional afterschool thing. Things like First Robotics and all of those great programs need to become mainstream. Megan Smith

The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know. Gaston Bachelard

I've actually started a number of businesses in my career. So I'm 28 currently, but when I was about 16, I started building Websites, and that's how I put myself through school. I went to Duke with a degree in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, and then to Princeton. Aaron Patzer

In the seventeenth century, the science of medicine had not wholly cut asunder from astrology and necromancy; and the trusting Christian still believed in some occult influences, chiefly planetary, which governed not only his crops but his health and life. Alice Morse Earle

Unforeseen surprises are the rule in science, not the exception. Remember: Stuff happens. Leonard Susskind

Science fiction, outside of poetry, is the only literary field which has no limits, no parameters whatsoever. Theodore Sturgeon

We pray that every field of science may contribute in bringing happiness - not disaster - to human beings. Kenichi Fukui

With science and reason throughout history, what people believed turned out to be false. So I like to keep an open mind to all perspectives and learn and become more fully realised as a person. I just feel we're never going to know what the full picture is. Conor Oberst

Modern science is fast-moving, and no laboratory can exist for long with a program based on old facilities. Innovation and renewal are required to keep a laboratory on the frontiers of science. Burton Richter

Visit a typical science classroom and you will discover far more than empirical facts being taught. The dominant worldview among scientific intellectuals is evolutionary naturalism, which holds that humans are essentially biochemical machines. Nancy Pearcey

Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first level alert to think about things to come. It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching to them. Every science fiction movie I have ever seen, any one that's worth its weight in celluloid, warns us about things that ultimately come true. Steven Spielberg

Everything is fraught with danger. I love technology and I love science. It's just always all in the way you use it. So there's no - you can't really blame anything on the technology. It's just the way people use it, and it always has been. Steve Martin

To me, mathematics, computer science, and the arts are insanely related. They're all creative expressions. Sebastian Thrun

Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness. Aleister Crowley

There's branches of science which I don't understand; for example, physics. It could be said, I suppose, that I have faith that physicists understand it better than I do. Richard Dawkins

Medical science has proven time and again that when the resources are provided, great progress in the treatment, cure, and prevention of disease can occur. Michael J. Fox

To advance science is highly honourable, and I believe the institution of the Nobel Prizes has done much to raise the prestige of scientific discovery. Frank Macfarlane Burnet

As a practicing neurologist, I place central importance in applying current science to the notion of disease prevention. David Perlmutter

Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question 'How?' but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question 'Why?' Erwin Chargaff

Science is like a flashlight in the hands of people living in a huge balloon. They can illuminate anything in the balloon, but cannot shine it outside the balloon to see where it is floating - or if it is floating at all. Huston Smith

I didn't have any writer friends in college. I was a computer science major, but I was writing a lot, probably more than anybody I knew. I started to submit novels to New York when I was a freshman in college. Watt Key

If I say I am not a politician, it is because I did not go to school to do political science. But at the end of the day, I think we are all born politicians. It's practical. All you gotta do is practice. George Weah

Borrowing knowledge of reality from all sources, taking the best from every study, Science of Mind brings together the highest enlightenment of the ages. Ernest Holmes

I hated science in high school. Technology? Engineering? Math? Why would I ever need this? Little did I realize that music was also about science, technology, engineering and mathematics, all rolled into one. Mickey Hart

I found that people like rules, and I love to tell people what to do. It's not rocket science when it comes to weight loss. It's about eating a little less and moving a little bit more. Bob Harper

Dream research is a wonderful field. All you do is sleep for a living. Stephen LaBerge

Ideas are 10 a penny. It's the execution that's the hard thing to do. House is standing up against a tide of sentiment and emotionalism over reason that threatens to engulf this world. When you think about it, a rationalist, a man of science and reason, is in a pretty lonely position. Hugh Laurie

The wealthy are always surrounded by hangers-on; science and art are as well. Anton Chekhov

Usually, girls weren't encouraged to go to college and major in math and science. My high school calculus teacher, Ms. Paz Jensen, made math appealing and motivated me to continue studying it in college. Ellen Ochoa

Unfortunately the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science. Freeman Dyson

Nothing in the universe can travel at the speed of light, they say, forgetful of the shadow's speed. Howard Nemerov

Ever since Newton, we've done science by taking things apart to see how they work. What the computer enables us to do is to put things together to see how they work: we're now synthesized rather than analysed. I find one of the most enthralling aspects of computers is limitless communication. Douglas Adams

Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice. Thomas Aquinas

For science must breathe the oxygen of freedom. John Charles Polanyi

We're looking at Earth science, observing our planet. Also space science, looking at the ozone in the atmosphere around our Earth. Also looking at life science. And on a human level, using ourselves as test subjects. Laurel Clark

The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers. Lewis Thomas

Learn computer science. It's extraordinarily helpful. I like recommending learning economics as well so they think in terms of business, they have rational frameworks for looking at the world, but yeah, computer science is an amazing way to get into, even if you want to be CEO, having a tech background is helpful. Fabrice Grinda

The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship. Robert A. Heinlein

We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more. Carl Jung

At its heart, engineering is about using science to find creative, practical solutions. It is a noble profession. Queen Elizabeth II

We live in an age of technology and science that demands proof, and yet we desire mystery. But when God gives us mystery, we seek to destroy it by gross indifference or childish reasoning. Mother Angelica

I also like to look at the dynamic that takes place between religion and science because, in a way, both are asking the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? The methodologies are diametrically opposed, but their motivation is the same; the wellspring is the same in both cases. J. Michael Straczynski

We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics. Katherine Johnson

Abundant choice doesn't force us to look for the absolute best of everything. It allows us to find the extremes in those things we really care about, whether that means great coffee, jeans cut wide across the hips, or a spouse who shares your zeal for mountaineering, Zen meditation, and science fiction. Virginia Postrel

For whatever reason, I didn't succumb to the stereotype that science wasn't for girls. I got encouragement from my parents. I never ran into a teacher or a counselor who told me that science was for boys. A lot of my friends did. Sally Ride

Genetic engineering is a result of science advancement, so I don't think that in itself is bad. If used wisely, genetics can be beneficial, but they can be abused, too. Hideo Kojima

As fandom grew more variegated, genzines reflected a broadening of interests, carrying personal columns of humor and reflection, science articles, amateur fiction, stylish gossip, and inevitably, thoughtful pieces on the future of fandom. Gregory Benford

Every science consists in the coordination of facts; if the different observations were entirely isolated, there would be no science. Auguste Comte

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce. John F. Kennedy

The science of semiconducting and metallic polymers is inherently interdisciplinary; it falls at the intersection of chemistry and physics. Alan J. Heeger

My role at Lockheed Martin puts me in contact with extraordinary leaders in many fields - from science and engineering to philanthropy and government. And since we also work closely with our nation's armed forces, we tend to reflect a lot on leadership and how we can inspire successful teamwork, cooperation, and partnerships. Marillyn Hewson

There is a science to managing high tech businesses, and it needs to be respected. One of them is that in technology businesses, leadership is temporary. It's constantly recycling. So the asset has limited lifetime. Eric Schmidt

Science is exploration. The fundamental nature of exploration is that we don't know what's there. We can guess and hope and aim to find out certain things, but we have to expect surprises. Charles H. Townes

Technology has enabled government to have investigative and situational awareness on a scale and scope that were science fiction when the Stasi shut its doors. Yochai Benkler

What are the symbols of American strength, wealth, power and modernity? Certainly not jazz and rock and roll, not chewing-gum or hamburgers, Broadway or Hollywood. It's their skyscrapers. Their Pentagon. Their science. Their technology. Oriana Fallaci

I actually started off majoring in computer science, but I knew right away I wasn't going to stay with it. It was because I had this one professor who was the loneliest, saddest man I've ever known. He was a programmer, and I knew that I didn't want to do whatever he did. J. Cole

Machine learning is the science of getting computers to learn without being explicitly programmed. Sebastian Thrun

Contemporary science is based on the philosophy of materialism, which claims that all reality is material or physical. Rupert Sheldrake

I've always been interested in medicine and was pleased when my brother became a doctor. But after thinking seriously about that field, I realized that what intrigued me was not the science, not the chemistry or biology of medicine, but the narrative - the story of each patient, each illness. Lois Lowry

The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline luggage. Mark Russell

Travel stories teach geography; insect stories lead the child into natural science; and so on. The teacher, in short, can use reading to introduce her pupils to the most varied subjects; and the moment they have been thus started, they can go on to any limit guided by the single passion for reading. Maria Montessori

To understand a science, it is necessary to know its history. Auguste Comte

Science is about knowing; engineering is about doing. Henry Petroski

In the 1960s, reaching for the moon meant just that. It was a metaphor for attempting the impossible, and we attempted it, and we did it. And it inspired millions of people in every way. The number of science graduates in this country doubled in the 1960s at every level - high school, college, Ph.D. Robert Zubrin

My district has been hit with three 500-year floods in the last several years, so either you believe that we had a one-in-over-100-million probability that occurred, or you believe as I do that there's a new normal, and we have changing weather patterns, and we have climate change. This is the science. Chris Gibson

The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge. Thomas Berger

One can not impede scientific progress. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

A snappy label and a manifesto would have been two of the very last things on my own career want list. That label enabled mainstream science fiction to safely assimilate our dissident influence, such as it was. Cyberpunk could then be embraced and given prizes and patted on the head, and genre science fiction could continue unchanged. William Gibson

For me, science is already fantastical enough. Unlocking the secrets of nature with fundamental physics or cosmology or astrobiology leads you into a wonderland compared with which beliefs in things like alien abductions pale into insignificance. Paul Davies

Studying organisms at a molecular level was totally compelling because it was moving from being a naturalist, which was the 19th-century kind of science, to being very focused and really getting to the heart of these molecules. Elizabeth Blackburn

Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge - the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox. Galileo Galilei

What is research but a blind date with knowledge? Will Harvey

I've always seen the world through the eyes of a scientist. I love the predictable outcomes that science gives us, the control over the world that that can render. Barbara Kingsolver

My feeling, of course, is that it's ludicrous to try to prove God's existence by science. God has nothing to do with science. God has all to do with soul, and who can explain that? Jeremy Irons

We're very interested in seeing what science Exxon has been using for its own purposes because they're tremendously active in offshore oil drilling in the Arctic, for example, where global warming is happening at a much more rapid rate than in more temperate zones. Eric Schneiderman

A second reason why science cannot replace judgement is the behavior of financial markets. Martin Feldstein

We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. Carl Sagan

Science has authority, not because of white coats, or titles, but because of precision and transparency: you explain your theory, set out your evidence, and reference the studies that support your case. Ben Goldacre

Science is global. Einstein's equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. Science does not differentiate between multiple races. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

I am among those who think that science has great beauty. Marie Curie

I hate facts. I always say the chief end of man is to form general propositions - adding that no general proposition is worth a damn. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

I believe in general in a dualism between facts and the ideas of those facts in human heads. George Santayana

Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories. Arthur C. Clarke

We must teach science in the mother tongue. Otherwise, science will become a highbrow activity. It will not be an activity in which all people can participate. C. V. Raman

Ideologically, the pursuit of science is not that different from the ideology that goes into punk rock. The idea of challenging authority is consistent with what I have been taught as a scientist. Greg Graffin

Music is not math. It's science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion. Bruno Mars

When you apply computer science and machine learning to areas that haven't had any innovation in 50 years, you can make rapid advances that seem really incredible. Bill Maris

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. Wernher von Braun

Mars has been flown by, orbited, smacked into, radar inspected, and rocketed onto, as well as bounced upon, rolled over, shoveled, drilled into, baked, and even laser blasted. Buzz Aldrin

Rockets are cool. There's no getting around that. Elon Musk

Facts are not science - as the dictionary is not literature. Martin H. Fischer
