Motivational Quotes
Science
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.
Best Quotes about Science
A bad conscience has a very good memory
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
Researchers, with science as their authority, will be able to cut [Animals] up, alive, into small pieces, drop them from a great height to see if they are shattered by the fall, or deprive them of sleep for sixteen days and nights continuously for the purposes of an iniquitous monograph... Animal trust, undeserved faith, when at last will you turn away from us? Shall we never tire of deceiving, betraying, tormenting animals before they cease to trust us?
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Nothing leads the scientist so astray as a premature truth.
Rostand, Jean
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
Scientists are peeping toms at the keyhole of eternity.
Koestler, Arthur
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Henri Poincare
In everything that relates to science, I am a whole Encyclopaedia behind the rest of the world.
Lamb, Charles
We have genuflected before the god of science only to find that it has given us the atomic bomb, producing fears and anxieties that science can never mitigate.
King Jr. Martin Luther
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.
Science is always wrong, it never solves a problem without creating ten more.
Shaw, George Bernard
I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.
Richard Feynman
Science is Christian, not when it condemns itself to the letter of things, but when, in the infinitely little, it discovers as many mysteries and as much depth and power as in the infinitely great.
Quinet, Edgar
Do you see this egg? With this you can topple every theological theory, every church or temple in the world.
Diderot, Denis
Oh, how much is today hidden by science! Oh, how much it is expected to hide!
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.
Russell, Bertrand
Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience
Washington, George
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
In the depths of every heart, there is a tomb and a dungeon, though the lights, the music, and revelry above may cause us to forget their existence, and the buried ones, or prisoners whom they hide. But sometimes, and oftenest at midnight, those dark receptacles are flung wide open. In an hour like this, when the mind has a passive sensibility, but no active strength; when the imagination is a mirror, imparting vividness to all ideas, without the power of selecting or controlling them; then pray that your grieves may slumber, and the brotherhood of remorse not break their chain.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
The Non-Conformist Conscience makes cowards of us all.
Beerbohm, Sir Max
Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual sense of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtle than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery.
Powers, Richard
In many walks of life, a conscience is a more expensive encumbrance than a wife or a carriage.
Quincey, Thomas De
Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.
Foucault, Michel
God may forgive your sins, but your nervous system won t.
I know of no department of natural science more likely to reward a man who goes into it thoroughly than anthropology. There is an immense deal to be done in the science pure and simple, and it is one of those branches of inquiry which brings one into contact with the great problems of humanity in every direction.
Huxley, Thomas H.
If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world. One might as well attempt to grasp the game of poker entirely by the use of the mathematics of probability.
Vannevar Bush
One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.
Pope, Alexander
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein
Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.
Lessing, Doris
If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.
Guin, Ursula K. Le
The worst state of affairs is when science begins to concern itself with art.
Klee, Paul
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
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.
A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
Einstein, Albert
Men never do evil so fully and cheerfully as when we do it out of conscience.
Pascal, Blaise
Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.
Valery, Paul
What we call conscience in many instances, is only a wholesome fear of the law.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
There is no witness so terrible and no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.
Sophocles
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
Science is the systematic classification of experience.
Lewes, George Henry
The beginning of compunction is the beginning of a new life.
Eliot, George
Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.
Mencken, H. L.
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
Bertrand Russell
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
Science must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong.
Carlyle, Thomas
Rules of society are nothing; ones conscience is the umpire.
Dudevant, Madame
Science, which cuts its way through the muddy pond of daily life without mingling with it, casts its wealth to right and left, but the puny boatmen do not know how to fish for it.
Herzen, Alexander
Man has to awaken to wonder -- and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig
Dissent is the native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt whether it will be a man.
Bronowski, Jacob
Science is one thing, wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers.
Sir Arthur Eddington
