Science is a collection of successful recipes.

Science is the process of discovering the nature of the world.

Science is the process of thinking God’s thoughts after Him.

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

If you can’t give me poetry, can’t you give me poetical science?

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

If what we are doing is not seen by some people as science fiction, it’s probably not transformative enough.

As soon as an Analytical Engine exists, it will necessarily guide the future course of science.

The whole body of the arts and sciences composes one vast machinery for the irritation and development of the human intellect

The science of style as an organ of thought, of style in relation to the ideas and feelings, might be called the organology of style

O star-eyed Science, hast thou wander’d there, To waft us home the message of despair?

The cool thing for me is, I go to a lot of conventions – a lot of science fiction conventions like Comic-Con – and there are always a lot of attendants of color. And I think some people believe that black people or people of color are not into science fiction or hero shows or genre shows.

I first read science fiction in the old British Chum annual when I was about 12 years old.

Science fiction is a field of writing where, month after month, every printed word implies to hundreds of thousands of people: ‘There is change. Look, today’s fantastic story is tomorrow’s fact.

To me, music is art and science. It’s like a combination of people and machines.

It is supposed that there has been progress in the science of textual criticism, and the most frivolous pretender has learned to talk superciliously about “the old unscientific days”. The old unscientific days are everlasting; they are here and now; they are renewed perennially by the ear which takes formulas in, and the tongue which gives them out again, and the mind which meanwhile is empty of reflexion and stuffed with self-complacency.

To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries;

The advancement of science and the diffusion of information is the best aliment to true liberty.

The advancement of science and the diffusion of information [is] the best aliment to true liberty.

There are, it seems to me, four main pathways to the truth: science, reason, intuition and imagination.

Science fiction has its own history, its own legacy of what’s been done, what’s been superseded, what’s so much part of the furniture it’s practically part of the fabric now, what’s become no more than a joke… and so on. It’s just plain foolish, as well as comically arrogant, to ignore all this, to fail to do the most basic research.

Science fiction is trying to find alternative ways of looking at realities.

The arms race is based on an optimistic view of technology and a pessimistic view of man. It assumes there is no limit to the ingenuity of science and no limit to the deviltry of human beings.”

I tried to find something real in essentially something thats science fiction or something-for me, anyways-not having an experience like this.

In the land of progressive Unicornia, science is only valuable if it is consistent with ideological dogma. Otherwise it is nothing more than bigoted hate facts.

Oh, you are a non-binary bisexual chemist? Well this completely changes the atomic numbers of Carbon, Palladium, and Uranium.

There is no “black mind” or “white mind”, no “white male of knowing”, there is only one truth, and we find it through the scientific method.

Science is based on evidence, not politics. In science knowing is always preferable to not knowing.”37 But today in academia, progressive ideology trumps scientific facts.

Science and reason liberate us from the shackles of superstition by offering us a framework for understanding our shared humanity. Ultimately, we all have the capacity to treasure life and enrich the world in incalculable ways.

The science of loving, yes, that’s the only kind of science I want I’d barter away everything I possess to win it

We’re always looking at science as it evolves

Back when the concept of organ transplants qualified as science fiction, novelist Maurice Renard wrote a thriller called ‘Les Mains d’Orlac.’ Call it a bastard offspring of ‘Frankenstein;’ its plot revolved around the old theme of Science Giving Us Stuff We Shouldn’t Have – in this particular case, restoring severed body parts.

We who grew up with ‘drop and cover’ drills know all too well what wonders science can bring us, and we like to see the guy in the white lab coat suffer a little. Or a lot.

I always treated the science thing and the art thing as quite similar thematically.

When it comes to art and science, people don’t like a lot of either. Instead of being open to it, they’re closed off about it.

But while doing that I’d been following a variety of fields in science and technology, including the work in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and so forth.

Recognizing that the boundaries of the market are ambiguous and cannot be determined in an objective way lets us realize that economics is not a science like physics or chemistry, but a political exercise… If the boundaries of what you are studying cannot be scientifically determined, what you are doing is not a science.

Science is the true theology

Economics is a political argument. It is not – and can never be – a science; there are no objective truths in economics that can be established independently of political, and frequently moral, judgements. Therefore, when faced with an economic argument, you must ask the age-old question ‘Cui bono?’ (Who benefits?), first made famous by the Roman statesman and orator Marcus Tullius Cicero.

That which is now called natural philosophy, embracing the whole circle of science, of which astronomy occupies the chief place, is the study of the works of God, and of the power and wisdom of God in his works, and is the true theology.”

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 loossed upon the world.

As for the Republicans — how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, [and] steel their emotions against decent human sympathy.

The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

The effort to reconcile science and religion is almost always made, not by theologians, but by scientists unable to shake off altogether the piety absorbed with their mother’s milk.

Science, at bottom, is really anti-intellectual. It always distrusts pure reason, and demands the production of objective fact.

It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry.

At the end of the eighteenth century, science was one of the few areas in old Europe where illegitimacy could not overshadow accomplishment

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

I went over the heads of the things a man reckons desirable. No doubt invisibility made it possible to get them, but it made it impossible to enjoy them when they are got.

Science has toiled too long forging weapons for fools to use. It is time she held her hand.

Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no need of change.

Freedom, the first-born of science.

Metaphysics is a science.

I believe that the science of chemistry alone almost proves the existence of an intelligent creator

During exposure, interference takes place between the incident rays and those reflected by the mirror, with the formation of interference fringes half a wavelength distant from each other.

Everyone believes in the law of errors, the experimenters because they think it is a mathematical theorem, and the mathematicians because they think it is an experimental fact.

Active love is a harsh and fearful thing compared with the love in dreams. Love in dreams thirsts for immediate action, quickly performed, and with everyone watching. Indeed, it will go as far as the giving even of one’s life, provided it does not take long but is soon over, as on stage, and eveyone is looking on and praising. Whereas active love is labor and persistence, and for some people, perhaps, a whole science.

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.

Science fiction is trying to find alternative ways of looking at realities.

There is no more wild, free, vigorous growth of the forest, but everything is in pots or rows like a rococo garden… The pupil is in the age of spontaneous variation which at no period of life is so great. He does not want a standardized, overpeptonized mental diet. It palls on his appetite.

Precisely what menstruation is, is not yet very well known.

The teens are emotionally unstable and pathic. It is a natural impulse to experience hot and perfervid psychic states, and it is characterized by emotionalism. We see here the instability and fluctuations now so characteristic. The emotions develop by contrast and reaction into the opposite.

This splendid subject [mathematics], queen of all exact sciences, and the ideal and norm of all careful thinking.

Education has now become the chief problem of the world, its one holy cause. The nations that see this will survive, and those that fail to do so will slowly perish. . . . There must be re-education of the will and of the heart as well as of the intellect; and the ideals of service must supplant those of selfishness and greed.

I don’t recall any interest in science in particular. It came later in college.

That’s what we want to do here at Johnson Space Center. I think what we have always brought to NASA and brought to the country is trying to push the boundaries, trying to go to the next level.

Astronauts are very professional and when they’re preparing for launch, they prepare for it as the most serious endeavor of our lives.

When I die, I’m leaving my body to science fiction.

Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.

Professor Tyndall once said the finest inspiration he ever received was from an old man who could scarcely read. This man acted as his servant. Each morning the old man would knock on the door of the scientist and call, “Arise, Sir: it is near seven o’clock and you have great work to do today

Science is simply the classification of the common knowledge of the common people. It is bringing together the things we all know and putting them together so we can use them. This is creation and finds its analogy in Nature, where the elements are combined in certain ways to give us fruits or flowers or grain.

Business, to be successful, must be based on science, for demand and supply are matters of mathematics, not guesswork.

Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.

It is necessary for the very existence of science that minds exist which do not allow that nature must satisfy some preconceived conditions.

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.

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

Pop music really is a love and a joy and science (of songwriting).

Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.

The exception proves that the rule is wrong.” That is the principle of science. If there is an exception to any rule, and if it can be proved by observation, that rule is wrong.

Science is of value because it can produce something.

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.

It is not unscientific to make a guess, although many people who are not in science think it is.

Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself.

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?

Doubt is clearly a value in science. It is important to doubt and that the doubt is not a fearful thing, but a thing of great value.

Science is uncertain.

Progress in science comes when experiments contradict theory.

Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.

But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident.

A philosopher once said, ‘It is necessary for the very existence of science that the same conditions always produce the same results.’ Well, they don’t!

Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers of the preceding generation.

Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves.

To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven. The same key opens the gates of hell. And so it is with science.

Tell your son to stop trying to fill your head with science – for to fill your heart with love is enough.

If you thought that science was certain – well, that is just an error on your part.

Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.

No mathematician should ever allow himself to forget that mathematics, more than any other art or science, is a young man’s game.

For any serious purpose, intelligence is a very minor gift.

I believe that mathematical reality lies outside us, that our function is to discover or observe it, and that the theorems which we prove, and which we describe grandiloquently as our “creations,” are simply the notes of our observations.

Millions of students now, in all the schools of America, are reading science fiction and especially, thank God, ‘The Martian Chronicles.

Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance

Science, philosophy and religion are bound to converge as they draw nearer to the whole.

The further art advances the closer it approaches science, the further science advances the closer it approaches art.

The truths of religion are unprovable; the facts of science are unproved.

All science, even the divine science, is a sublime detective story. Only it is not set to detect why a man is dead; but the darker secret of why he is alive.

Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich.

To mix science up with philosophy is only to produce a philosophy that has lost all its ideal value and a science that has lost all its practical value. It is for my private physician to tell me whether this or that food will kill me. It is for my private philosopher to tell me whether I ought to be killed.

Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.

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.

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.

Astrology, the noblest of sciences.

Politics is no exact science.

Politics is not a science, as the professors are apt to suppose. It is an art.

Politics are not a science based on logic; they are the capacity of always choosing at each instant, in constantly changing situations, the least harmful, the most useful.

The churchmen who felt they had an edict from God to withstand the progress of science, whether in the form of a Copernican revolution, were not mischievous men but misinformed men.

[Albert Einstein] is not challenging the fact of science; he is challenging the action of science. Not only is he challenging the action of science, but the action of science has surrendered to his challenge.

Science is an attempt, largely successful, to understand the world, to get a grip on things, to get hold of ourselves, to steer a safe course. Microbiology and meteorology now explain what only a few centuries ago was considered sufficient cause to burn women to death.

Science is only a Latin word for knowledge

A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

Science fiction writers thought it would be possible. H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, and other authors found ways to get people to the moon. But none of those writers foresaw any possibility of the lunar explorers being able to communicate with Earth, transmit data, position information, or transmit moving pictures of what they saw back to Earth. The authors foresaw my part of the adventure, but your part was beyond their comprehension.

I worry that, especially as the Millennium edges nearer, pseudo-science and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive.

If we offer too much silent assent about mysticism and superstition – even when it seems to be doing a little good – we abet a general climate in which scepticism is considered impolite, science tiresome, and rigorous thinking somehow stuffy and inappropriate.

Too much openness and you accept every notion, idea, and hypothesis-which is tantamount to knowing nothing. Too much skepticism-especially rejection of new ideas before they are adequately tested-and you’re not only unpleasantly grumpy, but also closed to the advance of science. A judicious mix is what we need.

The method of science is tried and true. It is not perfect, it’s just the best we have. And to abandon it, with its skeptical protocols, is the pathway to a dark age.

Science is not perfect. It’s often misused; it’s only a tool, but it’s the best tool we have. Self-correcting , ever changing, applicable to everything: with this tool, we vanquish the impossible.

We should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit.

We’ve arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.

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

There are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That’s perfectly all right: it’s the aperture to finding out what’s right. Science is a self-correcting process.

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

The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.

Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.

Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved?

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

And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true.

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

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

The regret on our side is, they used to say years ago, we are reading about you in science class. Now they say, we are reading about you in history class

Science and knowledge, especially that of philosophy, came from the Arabs into the West.

The science of religion is one science within philosophy; indeed it is the final one. In that respect it presupposes the other philosophical disciplines and is therefore a result.

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.

Plain women he regarded as he did the other severe facts of life, to be faced with philosophy and investigated by science.

Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.

Breed is stronger than pasture.

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.

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.’

Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals.

I am among those who think that science has great beauty.

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

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

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

It is my earnest desire that some of you should carry on this scientific work and keep for your ambition the determination to make a permanent contribution to science.

It was like a new world opened to me, the world of science, which I was at last permitted to know in all liberty.

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

In recent weeks we learned that scientists have created human embryos in test tubes solely to experiment on them. This is deeply troubling, and a warning sign that should prompt all of us to think through these issues very carefully.

There is a natural greenhouse effect that contributes to warming. Greenhouse gases trap heat and thus warm the Earth because they prevent a significant proportion of infrared radiation from escaping into space.

No society has ever yet been able to handle the temptations of technology to mastery, to waste, to exuberance, to exploration and exploitation. We have to learn to cherish this earth and cherish it as something that’s fragile, that’s only one, it’s all we have. We have to use our scientific knowledge to correct the dangers that have come from science and technology.
