- Freud, Sigmund
Science Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Science

1.
To us, men of the West, a very strange thing happened at the turn of the century; without noticing it, we lost science, or at least the thing that had been called by that name for the last four centuries. What we now have in place of it is something different, radically different, and we don't know what it is. Nobody knows what it is.
Weil, Simone

2.
Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other -- only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
Parsons, Talcott

3.
I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled Science Fiction and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

4.
Conscience is the dog that can't bite, but never stops barking.
Proverb

5.
Everywhere you look in science, the harder it becomes to understand the universe without God.
Herrman, Robert

6.
Science rests on reason and experiment, and can meet an opponent with calmness; but a belief is always sensitive.
Froude, James A.

7.
Two things fill me with constantly increasing admiration and awe, the longer and more earnestly I reflect on them: the starry heavens without and the moral law within.
Kant, Immanuel

8.
Our ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

9.
Faith is a fine invention when Gentleman can see -- but microscopes are prudent in an emergency
Dickinson, Emily

10.
Do you see this egg? With this you can topple every theological theory, every church or temple in the world.
Diderot, Denis

11.
When I contemplate the accumulation of guilt and remorse which, like a garbage-can, I carry through life, and which is fed not only by the lightest action but by the most harmless pleasure, I feel Man to be of all living things the most biologically incompetent and ill-organized. Why has he acquired a seventy years life-span only to poison it incurably by the mere being of himself? Why has he thrown Conscience, like a dead rat, to putrefy in the well?
Connolly, Cyril

12.
Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.
Lessing, Doris

13.
In scientific work, those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact.
Huxley, Thomas H.

14.
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.
Dick, Philip K.

15.
Conscience is the internal perception of the rejection of a particular wish operating within us.
Freud, Sigmund

16.
When the number of factors coming into play in a phenomenological complex is too large scientific method in most cases fails.
Einstein, Albert

17.
If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them.
Bohr, Niels

18.
I hate science. It denies a man's responsibility for his own deeds, abolishes the brotherhood that springs from God's fatherhood. It is a hectoring, dictating expertise, which makes the least lovable of the Church Fathers seem liberal by contrast. It is far easier for a Hitler or a Stalin to find a mock-scientific excuse for persecution than it was for Dominic to find a mock-Christian one.
Bunting, Basil

19.
The fancy that extraterrestrial life is by definition of a higher order than our own is one that soothes all children, and many writers.
Didion, Joan

20.
Science is the only truth and it is the great lie. It knows nothing, and people think it knows everything. It is misrepresented. People think that science is electricity, automobilism, and dirigible balloons. It is something very different. It is life devouring itself. It is the sensibility transformed into intelligence. It is the need to know stifling the need to live. It is the genius of knowledge vivisecting the vital genius.
Gourmont, Remy De

21.
Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it.
Einstein, Albert

22.
If it can't be expressed in figures, it's not science it's opinion.
Long, Lazarus

23.
Formal symbolic representation of qualitative entities is doomed to its rightful place of minor significance in a world where flowers and beautiful women abound.
Einstein, Albert

24.
The mythology of science asserts that with many different scientists all asking their own questions and evaluating the answers independently, whatever personal bias creeps into their individual answers is cancelled out when the large picture is put together. This might conceivably be so if scientists were women and men from all sorts of different cultural and social backgrounds who came to science with very different ideologies and interests. But since, in fact, they have been predominantly university-trained white males from privileged social backgrounds, the bias has been narrow and the product often reveals more about the investigator than about the subject being researched.
Hubbard, Ruth

25.
Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought - particularly for people who can never remember where they left things.
Allen, Woody

26.
Furnished as all Europe now is with Academies of Science, with nice instruments and the spirit of experiment, the progress of human knowledge will be rapid and discoveries made of which we have at present no conception. I begin to be almost sorry I was born so soon, since I cannot have the happiness of knowing what will be known a hundred years hence.
Franklin, Benjamin

27.
Science is all metaphor.
Leary, Timothy

28.
He who sacrifices his conscience to ambition burns a picture to obtain the ashes.
Proverb, Chinese

29.
The puritanical potentialities of science have never been forecast. If it evolves a body of organized rites, and is established as a religion, hierarchically organized, things more than anything else will be done in the name of decency. The coarse fumes of tobacco and liquors, the consequent tainting of the breath and staining of white fingers and teeth, which is so offensive to many women, will be the first things attended to.
Lewis, Wyndham

30.
I think remorse ought to stop biting the consciences that feed it.
Nash, Ogden

31.
Honor is the moral conscience of the great.
D'Avenant

32.
Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best, 20 -- 20 hindsight. It's good for seeing where you've been. It's good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can't tell you where you ought to go.
Pirsig, Robert M.

33.
Reason often makes mistakes, but conscience never does.
Billings, Josh

34.
God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won t.

35.
Religions are the great fairy tales of conscience.
Santayana, George

36.
Conscience was the barmaid of the Victorian soul. Recognizing that human beings were fallible and that their failings, though regrettable, must be humored, conscience would permit, rather ungraciously perhaps, the indulgence of a number of carefully selected desires.
Joad, C. E. M.

37.
Science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary.
Einstein, Albert

38.
The most important scientific revolutions all include, as their only common feature, the dethronement of human arrogance from one pedestal after another of previous convictions about our centrality in the cosmos.
Stephen Jay Gould

39.
There is only one way to achieve happiness on this terrestrial ball, and that is to have either a clear conscience or none at all.
Nash, Ogden

40.
But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.
Artaud, Antonin

41.
The conscience is the sacred haven of the liberty of man.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

42.
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Noam Chomsky

43.
Science is a game we play with God, to find out what his rules are.
Krasel, Cornelius

44.
Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don't want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience; indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

45.
Thus will the fondest dream of Phallic science be realized: a pristine new planet populated entirely by little boy clones of great scientific entrepreneurs free to smash atoms, accelerate particles, or, if they are so moved, build pyramids -- without any social relevance or human responsibility at all.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

46.
Conscience is a man's compass.
Gogh, Vincent Van

47.
Science knows only one commandment -- contribute to science.
Brecht, Bertolt

48.
He had been eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers, which were to be put into vials hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the air in raw, inclement summers.
Swift, Jonathan

49.
Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.
Richard Feynman

50.
The innocent seldom find an uncomfortable pillow.
Cowper, William
