‘Science fiction frees you to go anyplace and examine anything.’ – Octavia E. Butler

‘Science will explain how but not why. It talks about what is, not what ought to be. Science is descriptive, not prescriptive; it can tell us about causes but it cannot tell us about purposes. Indeed, science disavows purposes.’ – Jonathan Sacks

‘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

‘In science, the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to whom the idea first occurs.’ – Francis Darwin

‘The American doctor, in my opinion, possesses a combination of conservatism and that other quality which has put the United States in the forefront in almost every department of science – that is, an eagerness to know what it is really all about in order that he may not be the one left behind if there is something to it.’ – Elizabeth Kenny

‘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

‘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

‘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

‘Natural science, does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves.’ – Werner Heisenberg

‘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

‘Science fiction and fantasy is a kind of literature that embodies the highest aspirations of the human race.’ – Harlan Ellison

‘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

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

‘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

‘There is no stronger case for the motivational power of real science than the discoveries that come from the Hubble Space Telescope as it unravels the mysteries of the universe.’ – John M. Grunsfeld

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

‘I often compare open source to science. To where science took this whole notion of developing ideas in the open and improving on other peoples’ ideas and making it into what science is today and the incredible advances that we have had. And I compare that to witchcraft and alchemy, where openness was something you didn’t do.’ – Linus Torvalds

‘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

‘I’m one of the few women in science. I have pioneered that. One of the things I worry about is what that pioneering has done to me. I have had to fight quite hard most of the way through life.’ – Jocelyn Bell Burnell

‘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

‘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

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

‘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

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

‘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

‘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

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

‘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.’ – George Eliot

‘It is not a Pandora’s box that science opens; it is, rather, a treasure chest. We, humanity, can choose whether or not to take out the discoveries and use them, and for what purpose.’ – John Sulston

‘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

‘A science is something which is constructed from truth on workable axioms. There are 55 axioms in Scientology which are very demonstrably true, and on these can be constructed a great deal.’ – L. Ron Hubbard

‘In a modern and innovative society, where advancements are plentiful and communication is instantaneous, science and technology are a part of everyday life.’ – Julie Payette

‘I am a follower of Jesus Christ. The Bible is my primary way of knowing Him and what it means to follow Him. And I am a pastor, and I teach and preach the Bible to my congregation every week. But the Bible is not a manufacturer’s handbook. Neither is it a science textbook nor a guidebook for public policy.’ – Adam Hamilton

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

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

‘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 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

‘Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art.’ – Will Durant

‘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

‘Astrobiology is the science of life in the universe. It’s an attempt to scientifically deal with the question of whether or not we’re alone in the universe, looking at the past of life, the present of life, and the future of life. It’s an interdisciplinary study incorporating astronomy, biology, and the Earth sciences.’ – David Grinspoon

‘I am among those who think that science has great beauty.’ – Marie Curie

‘Science is about filling in the details.’ – Graham Hawkes

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

‘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

‘Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products.’ – James Dyson

‘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 beauty of science is to imagine more than we can prove. And string theory gives you a radically different interpretation of the universe.’ – Ashoke Sen

‘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

‘The science of being healthy is well-known. It is not esoteric. There are no magic bullets. If you want to live a long life, we’ve known the answers for more than a hundred years. It’s a wide-ranging diet with as much fruit and veg as you can stuff into yourself, and plenty of exercise. It doesn’t even matter what kind of exercise.’ – Alice Roberts

‘I’m not a very big fan of science fiction. I think that I’m a very big fan of living in the physical world.’ – Pranav Mistry

‘The problem of psychoanalysis is not the body of theory that Freud left behind, but the fact that it never became a medical science. It never tried to test its ideas.’ – Eric Kandel

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

‘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

‘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

‘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 last thing you ever want to do is extend the period of frailty and disability and make people unhealthy for a longer time period. So lifespan extension in and of itself should not be the goal of medicine, nor should it be the goal of public health, nor should it be the goal of aging science.’ – S. Jay Olshansky

‘Art is elemental. Reason alone as it’s expressed in the sciences can’t be man’s complete answer to reality, and it can’t express everything that man can, wants to, and has to express. I think God built this into man. Art along with science is the highest gift God has given him.’ – Pope Benedict XVI

‘Being an economist is the least ethical profession, closer to charlatanism than any science.’ – Nassim Nicholas Taleb

‘Boxing is the sweet science. You hit and not get hit. There’s no reward for you to hit me more than I hit you other than on the scorecards.’ – Bernard Hopkins

‘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

‘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

‘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

‘Intelligence is not a science.’ – Frank Carlucci

‘From my earliest acquaintance with the science of political economy, it has been evident to my mind that capital was the product of labor, and that therefore, in its best analysis there could be no natural conflict between capital and labor.’ – Leland Stanford

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

‘Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual condition of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtler than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery.’ – Richard Powers

‘Neuroscience is a baby science, a mere century old, and our scientific understanding of the brain is nowhere near where we’d like it to be. We know more about the moons of Jupiter than what is inside of our skulls.’ – Matt Haig

‘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

‘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

‘We must not confuse religion with God, or technology with science. Religion stands in relationship to God as technology does in relation to science. Both the conduct of religion and the pursuit of technology are capable of leading mankind into evil; but both can prompt great good.’ – Robert Winston

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

‘There is abundant science out there that connects mercury exposure in vaccines to not only autism, but to ASD, to SIDS, to ADD, ADHD, language tics – which is like Tourette Syndrome – OCD, asthma, food allergies, and diabetes.’ – Robert Kennedy, Jr.

‘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

‘Vote Leave argued during the referendum that a Leave victory should deliver the huge changes that the public wanted and the U.K. should make science and technology the focus of a profound process of national renewal.’ – Dominic Cummings

‘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

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

‘We are living in a science fiction world.’ – George Takei

‘But I don’t see myself as a woman in science. I see myself as a scientist.’ – Donna Strickland

‘I don’t join the New Atheists. So, for example, I wouldn’t have the arrogance to lecture some mother who hopes to see her dying child in Heaven – that’s none of my business, ultimately. I won’t lecture her on the philosophy of science.’ – Noam Chomsky

‘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

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

‘Science began as one of the noblest expressions of man’s reason. It will continue to serve humanity so long as it never forgets that human beings remain the heart of its purpose.’ – Robert Kennedy

‘The most interesting character to me is someone who is stuck in the no man’s land between Belief and Unbelief, Faith and Faithlessness. I’m capitalizing like a German, but it doesn’t matter whether it’s faith in a person or in God, or belief in science or whatever, it’s the desperate in-between state that makes for interesting dramatic tension.’ – Richard Dooling

‘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’m a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was a student, I had to give the wrong answer to get an A. We used to ridicule continental drift. It was something we laughed at. We learned of Marshall Kay’s geosynclinal cycle, which is a bunch of crap.’ – Robert Ballard

‘If you look in ‘The Science of Getting Rich,’ you see no reference whatsoever to the ‘law of attraction.’ – Esther Hicks’ – Esther Hicks

‘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

‘The capacity of the female mind for studies of the highest order cannot be doubted, having been sufficiently illustrated by its works of genius, of erudition, and of science.’ – James Madison

‘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

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

‘Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.’ – Alan Turing

‘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

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

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

‘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

‘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

‘There are things done under the name of science which are ridiculous. But there is also stuff done which sounds funny but is really serious.’ – Margaret Geller

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

‘You don’t go into space just for the science. Economically, it is not worth it. I think the reason we should be in space is for the exploration; it’s the human endeavour.’ – Helen Sharman

‘I struggled in school. Math and science were difficult for me. But I can watch 10 guys play, and I can tell you what everybody did. It might be a curse because when you see everything, sometimes you don’t let your kids play.’ – Larry Brown

‘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

‘Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don’t know.’ – Bertrand Russell

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

‘I invented an algorithm for starting micro turbo-molecular vacuum pumps to be used in science instruments on a future Mars rover.’ – Christina Koch

‘Imagine if baseball were taught the way science is taught in most inner-city schools. Schoolchildren would get lectures about the history of the World Series. High school students would occasionally reproduce famous plays of the past. Nobody would get in the game themselves until graduate school.’ – Alison Gopnik

‘Science by itself has no moral dimension. But it does seek to establish truth. And upon this truth morality can be built.’ – William Masters

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

‘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

‘Art, like real estate, is half science, half gut. We go to a lot of art fairs. We have two full-time art experts who help me make all the decisions about how to build the corporate and personal collection and what we put in our developments. We don’t let interior designers pick art for us.’ – Jorge M. Perez

‘Women of my generation who’ve stayed in science have done it by playing the men at their own game.’ – Jocelyn Bell Burnell

‘I’ve finished 12th standard from Poddar International and enrolled for B.A. in political science in Cambridge University, London. It’s a correspondence course, and I’ll go to London for my exams once a year. That way, I can devote more time to films.’ – Hansika Motwani

‘My political science degree is always on the back-burner. I took my LSAT, so even if I want to take the LSAT again, I know what I’m getting into. I’ll keep it on the back-burner. Who knows, maybe with my popularity, I can have a career in politics with a law degree. I think it’ll work out either way.’ – Vinny Guadagnino

‘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

‘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

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

‘I’m enormously interested to see where neuroscience can take us in understanding these complexities of the human brain and how it works, but I do think there may be limits in terms of what science can tell us about what does good and evil mean anyway, and what are those concepts about?’ – Francis Collins

‘We are not a trading company. We are a midstream asset company: pipe, storage and terminals. It’s an unsexy, dirty business. It’s not rocket science.’ – Richard Kinder

‘Wikipedia was a big help for science, especially science communication, and it shows no sign of diminishing in importance.’ – Aubrey de Grey

‘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

‘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

‘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

‘Comparing science and religion isn’t like comparing apples and oranges – it’s more like apples and sewing machines.’ – Jack Horner

‘The speculative object and the practical object of philosophy as Naturalism, science and pleasure, coincide on this point: it is always a matter of denouncing the illusion, the false infinite, the infinity of religion and all of the theologico-erotic-oneiric myths in which it is expressed.’ – Gilles Deleuze

‘Shiv Nadar University has five schools with 16 departments offering 14 undergraduate, 10 master’s and 13 doctoral programmes.

‘The whole idea of how people will learn computer science, I believe will be through game development.’ – David Baszucki

‘We didn’t care about salaries and having a nice car. We just cared about science and were really ambitious.’ – May-Britt Moser

‘This much we know: Journalism is not a precise science. It’s, on its best day, is a crude art. We make mistakes; I make mistakes. With more than 50 years as a journalist, I have at least had the opportunity to blow more stories, make more mistakes than maybe anybody in television.’ – Dan Rather

‘Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature.’ – Jacob Bronowski

‘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

‘Is science of any value? I think a power to do something is of value. Whether the result is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how it is used, but the power is a value.’ – Richard P. Feynman

‘We’re at peak oil, peak water, peak resources, and so either we figure it out and let science lead or we head down a very bad, dark trail to where a lot of people aren’t going to make it.’ – Henry Rollins

‘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

‘Family business management is a discipline that has evolved from an art into a science. The market for this line of education has been created by the growing recognition of family-run companies that shareholders are demanding greater clarity on issues ranging from succession to the management of wealth and the distribution of profits.’ – Sanjaya Baru

‘I have passed English medical examinations in Hong Kong… In my youth, I experienced overseas studies. The languages of the West, its literature, its political science, its customs, its mathematics, its geography, its physics and chemistry – all these I have had the chance to study.’ – Sun Yat-sen

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

‘Further, science is a collaborative effort.’ – John Bardeen

‘Let’s say intelligence is your ability to compose poetry, symphonies, do art, math and science. Chimps can’t do any of that, yet we share 99 percent DNA. Everything that we are, that distinguishes us from chimps, emerges from that one-percent difference.’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

‘The decline of particle physics in the U.S. is really a symptom of the erratic and sometimes anti-scientific attitudes in Washington and the incompetence of Congress in managing science.’ – Bill Foster

‘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

‘I was not into sci-fi, science fiction, at all. I was into some of the old pirate films with Burt Lancaster and stuff. I liked them.’ – Mads Mikkelsen

‘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

‘Science has everything to say about what is possible. Science has nothing to say about what is permissible.’ – Charles Krauthammer

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

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

‘I did not grow up around computers, so technology was not a tool used every day in my household. I was drawn to computer science due to the creative nature of programming and the technology focus.’ – Kimberly Bryant

‘The main reason for the failure of the modern medical science is that it is dealing with results and not causes. Nothing more than the patching up of those attacked and the burying of those who are slain, without a thought being given to the real strong hold.’ – Edward Bach

‘I never, as a reader, have been particularly interested in dystopian literature or science fiction or, in fact, fantasy.’ – Lois Lowry

‘Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies, and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man, even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate the subject matters.’ – Pope Paul VI

‘I’m crazy about Grant: his character, his nature, his science in fighting and everything else. But I don’t like the idea that he never accepted the blame for anything, always found someone else to blame for any mistake that was ever made, including blaming Prentiss for Shiloh.’ – Shelby Foote

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

‘I thought I wanted to be a pediatrician because, as a second job, my mother would clean up a pediatrician’s office. So I was like, ‘Oh, OK, baby doctor.’ Until I got to college, and all the courses of science with the blood, guts and cadavers? I was like, ‘Mm, no.” – Angela Bassett

‘I don’t think the law exists to arrive at the truth. If it did, we wouldn’t have exclusionary rules, we wouldn’t have presumptions of innocence, we wouldn’t have proof beyond reasonable doubt. There’s an enormous difference between the role of truth in law and the role of truth in science. In law, truth is one among many goals.’ – Alan Dershowitz

‘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

‘The promise of artificial intelligence and computer science generally vastly outweighs the impact it could have on some jobs in the same way that, while the invention of the airplane negatively affected the railroad industry, it opened a much wider door to human progress.’ – Paul Allen

‘Science always has its origin in the adaptation of thought to some definite field of experience.’ – Ernst Mach

‘You have no time to do the science if you’re talking to the media.’ – James Hansen

‘There’s more to research than just looking up facts. Eventually, you have to make subjective calls. If you’re writing a science fiction novel, there’s probably some speculative technology in it. You’ll have to decide how to project existing technology forward in a plausible way.’ – Andy Weir

‘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

‘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

‘Despite what everyone thinks about science fiction, ultimately, at its best, it’s about human beings with human emotions.’ – Greig Fraser

‘One of the wonders of science is that it is completely universal. It crosses national boundaries with total ease.’ – Brian Greene

‘We’re not all equal, it’s simply not true. That isn’t science.’ – James D. Watson

‘I have so many favourite science fiction films. I would say ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens’ are two of my favourite sci-fi films. Also ‘Children of Men’ would be one of my favourite science fiction films. I love the original ‘Solaris’ and the remake. And even though it wasn’t a film, the series ‘Battlestar Galactica’ was one of my favourite TV shows.’ – Pedro Pascal

‘Keynes was scarcely a ‘revolutionary’ in any real sense. He possessed the tactical wit to dress up ancient statist and inflationist fallacies with modern, pseudoscientific jargon, making them appear to be the latest findings of economic science.’ – Murray Rothbard

‘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.’ – John Dalberg-Acton

‘I didn’t read comic books, growing up. I was more of a science fiction/fantasy novel guy. I loved reading Edgar Rice Burroughs’ ‘Tarzan’ and that kind of stuff.’ – Jesse L. Martin

‘I love science fiction, but I have a hard time feeling for characters in a galaxy far away. Choosing movies is the one thing in my life where there’s no compromising.’ – Leonardo DiCaprio

‘Astrology is interesting but not very accurate. It’s a science I don’t trust very much.’ – Varg Vikernes

‘It seems to me that socialists today can preserve their position in academic economics merely by the pretense that the differences are entirely moral questions about which science cannot decide.’ – Friedrich August von Hayek

‘The problem is that no ethical system has ever achieved consensus. Ethical systems are completely unlike mathematics or science. This is a source of concern.’ – Daniel Dennett

‘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

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

‘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

‘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

‘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

”Star Wars’ is more fairy tale than true science fiction.’ – Mark Hamill

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

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

‘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

‘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

‘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

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

‘Science fiction I’ve always been a fan of.’ – Jason Statham

‘If you have a child with autism, and he or she has good intelligence, with no delay in language learning maybe there is an advantage to autism as well? Maybe it gives them a better understanding of mathematics, or science? After all, the essence of science and the essence of autism is to notice patterns that others have not noticed.’ – Simon Baron-Cohen

‘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

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

‘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

‘It seems to me that the Swedish Academy of Science may be qualifying for the Nobel Peace Prize. It recognises no nationality; it discourages unworthy national feeling and prejudice.’ – Charles Glover Barkla

‘We have to realize that science is a double-edged sword. One edge of the sword can cut against poverty, illness, disease and give us more democracies, and democracies never war with other democracies, but the other side of the sword could give us nuclear proliferation, biogerms and even forces of darkness.’ – Michio Kaku

‘I do hope that ‘Interstellar’ and this kind of science in film will catch the public fancy and help to reignite an interest in science – and a respect for the power of science in dealing with the problems that society has to deal with.’ – Kip Thorne

‘The hardest problems of pure and applied science can only be solved by the open collaboration of the world-wide scientific community.’ – Kenneth G. Wilson

‘Wisdom alone is the science of other sciences.’ – Plato

‘Linguistics is very much a science. It’s a human science, one of the human sciences. And it’s one of the more interesting human sciences.’ – Samuel R. Delany

‘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

‘Mythology and science both extend the scope of human beings. Like science and technology, mythology, as we shall see, is not about opting out of this world, but about enabling us to live more intensely within it.’ – Karen Armstrong

‘Forensic science offers great potential, as it draws on almost every discipline and, in doing so, creates widespread opportunity for innovation.’ – Mark Walport

‘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

‘I was good at math and science, and it was expected that I would attend the University of Washington in Seattle and become an engineer. But by the time I was seventeen, I was ready to leave home, a decision my parents agreed to support if I could obtain a scholarship. MIT did not grant me one, but the University of Chicago did.’ – Robert Lucas, Jr.

‘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

‘Art and religion first; then philosophy; lastly science. That is the order of the great subjects of life, that’s their order of importance.’ – Muriel Spark

‘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

‘I was a kinesiology major in college, which is exercise science. Then, I was either going to get my Ph.D. or go to medical school, but I was kind of burned out after school.’ – Michelle Wolf

‘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

‘There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance.’ – Hippocrates

‘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

‘Though neglectful of their responsibility to protect science, scientists are increasingly aware of their responsibility to society.’ – John Polanyi

‘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

‘I had read tons of science fiction. I was fascinated by other worlds, other environments. For me, it was fantasy, but it was not fantasy in the sense of pure escapism.’ – James Cameron

‘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

‘It is a law woven into the nature of man, attested by history, by science, by literature and art, and by dally experience, that strength of mind and force of character are the supreme rulers of human affairs.’ – Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar II

‘Most religious people in America fully embrace science. So the argument that religion has some issue with science applies to a small fraction of those who declare that they are religious. They just happen to be a very vocal fraction, so you got the impression that there are more of them than there actually is.’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

‘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

‘Science is a cemetery of dead ideas.’ – Miguel de Unamuno

‘I loved theatre and did magic, too, but I was never the best at it – there was never a teacher saying, ‘You’re great, you have to make this your career!’ I was good at science and math. I figured I’d go into science and become a dentist.’ – Nathan Fielder

‘I believe economic growth should translate into the happiness and progress of all. Along with it, there should be development of art and culture, literature and education, science and technology. We have to see how to harness the many resources of India for achieving common good and for inclusive growth.’ – Pratibha Patil

‘The philosophy of the school was quite simple – the bright boys specialised in Latin, the not so bright in science and the rest managed with geography or the like.’ – Aaron Klug

‘The proper study of mankind is the science of design.’ – Herbert A. Simon

‘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

‘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

‘I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can’t really do much with those in a fantasy setting.’ – Elizabeth Moon

‘All the people who run agencies, all the important people in agencies have taken communication courses, marketing courses, advertising courses, and courses basically teach advertising as a science, and advertising is so far from a science it isn’t even funny. Advertising is an art.’ – George Lois

‘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

‘The science of morality is about maximizing psychological and social health. It’s really no more inflammatory than that.’ – Sam Harris

‘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

‘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

‘I do not practice clinical medicine and hence do not treat individual patients. My career is in medical science.’ – Robert Jarvik

‘How is AIDS research to progress when the premise of science is questioning but the premise of questioning HIV is considered so dangerous that even venturing into the facts is too great a risk? – Nate Mendel’ – Nate Mendel

‘Many men of science and poets have in their own manner, by various ways and means, and aided by others, sought unceasingly to create a more tolerable world for everyone.’ – Eyvind Johnson

‘The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief, which is at the heart of all popular religion, that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart.’ – Richard Adams

‘Marie Curie is my hero. Few people have accomplished something so rare – changing science. And as hard as that is, she had to do it against the tide of the culture at the time – the prejudice against her as a foreigner, because she was born in Poland and worked in France.

‘Most science fiction is about white men who are 25 to 30, who are very smart, who face a physical problem and solve it.’ – Joe Haldeman

‘Science has become something that everybody knows he has to pay attention to, but not everybody is a believer. So I don’t think we should equate science with religion. But, that science is progressively playing a more and more important part in the life of every individual is obvious.’ – Chen-Ning Yang

‘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

‘Certainly science, because of its ability to increase our capacities to do things, raises terrible risks for us all. If it were possible to undiscover nuclear fission, I would be very happy to undiscover it, because of the risks that it puts us all under.’ – Steven Weinberg

‘My older brother was the person who got me interested in science in general. He used to tell me what he learned in school. My first memory of mathematics is probably the time that he told me about the problem of adding numbers from 1 to 100.’ – Maryam Mirzakhani

‘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

‘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

‘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

‘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

‘I was going to be a chemical engineer – I was a science nerd – that was the plan. I secretly applied to USC and NYU and got a scholarship to go to NYU based on a dumb animated short I made. It was a huge shock to me and my family.’ – Jon Watts

‘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

‘Given the scale of issues like global warming and epidemic disease, we shouldn’t underestimate the importance of a can-do attitude to science rather than a can’t-afford-it attitude.’ – Martin Rees

‘Science is nothing, but trained and organized common sense.’ – Thomas Huxley

‘Art has a double face, of expression and illusion, just like science has a double face: the reality of error and the phantom of truth.’ – Publilius Syrus

‘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

‘Humanity has experienced many revolutionary changes over the course of history: revolutions in agriculture, in science, industrial production, as well as numerous political revolutions.

‘I’ve had the chance to work with Christopher Plummer, one of the great stage and film actors, a couple of times, including on ‘Prototype,’ the first TV movie I ever did. It was science fiction in the Ray Bradbury sense, written by the famous team who created Columbo, Levinson, and Link.’ – David Morse

‘Science is, rightly, searching for drugs to arrest ageing or to slow the advance of dementia. But the evidence suggests that many of the most powerful factors determining how you age come from what you do, and what you do with others: whether you work, whether you play music, whether you have regular visitors.’ – Geoff Mulgan

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

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

‘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

‘Facts are not science – as the dictionary is not literature.’ – Martin H. Fischer

‘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

‘Modem science, then, maintains on the one hand that nature, both organic and inorganic, strives towards a state of order and that man’s actions are governed by the same tendency.’ – Rudolf Arnheim

‘Meteorologists don’t use a script, and most create their own graphics and certainly put together their own forecasts. Most of us went to school to become scientists – at least I did – and studied thermodynamics, physics, and tons of calculus to take this young science to the next level. Our accuracy is amazing and will only continue to improve.’ – Ginger Zee

‘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

‘In a sense, fantasy is a freer play of the imagination. You can achieve exactly the situation you want with less groundwork, less of a need to fill in all of the background. For science fiction, I would use a lot of sources to set up, for instance, what a being from another planet would be like.’ – Roger Zelazny

‘The desire to economize time and mental effort in arithmetical computations, and to eliminate human liability to error is probably as old as the science of arithmetic itself.’ – Howard Aiken

‘We can make science personal, like a love story or your best friend.’ – Jim Sullivan

‘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

‘I co-founded Affectiva with Professor Rosalind W. Picard when we spun out of MIT Media Lab in 2009. I acted as Chief Technology and Science Officer for several years until becoming CEO mid-2016, one of a handful of female CEOs in the AI space.’ – Rana el Kaliouby

‘It’s not rocket science. It’s social science.’ – Clement Mok

‘Travel stories teach geography; insect stories lead the child into natural science; and so on.

‘Our mission on Apollo 14 was to be the first to do science on the moon, so we had to be careful about getting everything in during the allotted time.’ – Edgar Mitchell

‘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

‘I have done one thing that I think is a contribution: I helped Buddhist science and modern science combine. No other Buddhist has done that. Other lamas, I don’t think they ever pay attention to modern science. Since my childhood, I have a keen interest.’ – Dalai Lama

‘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

‘The science of life is changing hearts and minds.’ – Gary Bauer

‘I don’t read ‘chick lit,’ fantasy or science fiction but I’ll give any book a chance if it’s lying there and I’ve got half an hour to kill.’ – J. K. Rowling

‘I was a political science major. I was always interested in social impact.’ – Kenny Leon

‘I wasn’t a big science fiction aficionado, there were a few films like 2001 or Blade Runner that were favorites of mine, but since I started this series I have gained more respect for the genre and become more of a fan myself.’ – Joe Flanigan

‘I didn’t mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects, but I think I was a pretty good student.’ – Alan Shepard

‘Fiction is lies; we’re writing about people who never existed and events that never happened when we write fiction, whether its science fiction or fantasy or western mystery stories or so-called literary stories. All those things are essentially untrue. But it has to have a truth at the core of it.’ – George R. R. Martin

‘I have a Ph.D. in philosophy and sports science. At 14, I went through this really tough Soviet training system. A lot of my roommates got psychologically broken or physically injured. Either you came through, or you were out. I made my Ph.D. work in the field of young athletes aged 14-19 because at this age any human is changing.’ – Wladimir Klitschko

‘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

‘Yoga is an art and science of living.’ – Indra Devi

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 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

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

‘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

‘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

‘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

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

‘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 evasion of justice within academia is all the more infuriating because the course of sexual harassment is so predictable. Since I started writing about women and science, my female colleagues have been moved to share their stories with me; my inbox is an inadvertent clearinghouse for unsolicited love notes.’ – Hope Jahren

‘Science tells us we need to keep the majority of fossil fuels in the ground, and that we must urgently invest in renewable energy, and other alternative industries. Doing so would create millions of jobs, ensure a fair transition for fossil fuel workers into new industries, and avert the most catastrophic climate breakdown.’ – Barry Gardiner

‘The existence of life beyond Earth is an ancient human concern. Over the years, however, attempts to understand humanity’s place in the cosmos through science often got hijacked by wishful thinking or fabricated tales.’ – Jill Tarter

‘I do have a huge fascination for science, and I love to hear what my dad has to say. He used to take me into minor surgeries when I was a kid and let me watch, so I definitely have a passion for it, but it’s not as big a passion as I have for acting and creating characters.’ – Daniela Ruah

‘The only shibboleth the West has is science. It is the premise of modernity and it defines itself as a rationality capable of, indeed requiring separation from politics, religion and really, society. Modernisation is to work towards this.’ – Bruno Latour

‘I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie.’ – Talulah Riley

‘While 15-year-olds in China blitz their peers in the West in math, reading and science, we are warping the minds of our children by indoctrinating them in an ideology that is Marxist in nature and teaches them that America is an oppressive regime of ‘whiteness’ and anyone born with white skin needs to be punished, humiliated and marginalized.’ – Miranda Devine

‘Science arose from poetry… when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.’ – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

‘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

‘Much of Indian science seems intuitive and not bound by the rigid thinking of classical scientists.’ – Roland Joffe

‘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

‘Please don’t make the mistake of thinking that ‘Oryx and Crake’ is anti-science. Science is a way of knowing, and a tool. Like all ways of knowing and tools, it can be turned to bad uses. And it can be bought and sold, and it often is. But it is not in itself bad. Like electricity, it’s neutral.’ – Margaret Atwood

‘Science is going to be revolutionized by AI assistants.’ – Oren Etzioni

‘Our society, the dominant culture doesn’t like science. It doesn’t like technology.’ – Peter Thiel

‘My entry into the environmental arena was through the issue that so dramatically – and destructively – demonstrates the link between science and social action: nuclear weapons.’ – Barry Commoner

‘We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solutions.’ – Whitfield Diffie

‘For me, consciousness is the most interesting unsolved problem of science, and, in fact, we may never know what it is about a particular arrangement of neurons that gives rise to consciousness. Our consciousness, like the air we breathe or like the passage of time, is central to our existence as intelligent beings.’ – Alan Lightman

‘The wise man regulates his conduct by the theories both of religion and science. But he regards these theories not as statements of ultimate fact but as art-forms.’ – John B. S. Haldane

We can do wonderful science on the Moon, and wonderful commercial things. Then we can pack up and move on to Mars.’ – Buzz Aldrin

‘I consistently encounter people in academic settings and scientists and journalists who feel that you can’t say that anyone is wrong in any deep sense about morality, or with regard to what they value in life. I think this doubt about the application of science and reason to questions of value is really quite dangerous.’ – Sam Harris

‘I think what a life in science really teaches you is the vastness of our ignorance.’ – David Eagleman

‘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

‘When I was in my late twenties, a friend suggested that, since I was an avid SF reader and had been since I was barely a teenager, that since it didn’t look like the poetry was going where I wanted, I might try writing a science fiction story. I did, and the first story I ever wrote was ‘The Great American Economy.” – L. E. Modesitt, Jr.

‘It was hard for me to believe. I would look down and say, ‘This is the moon, this is the moon,’ and I would look up and say, ‘That’s the Earth, that’s the Earth,’ in my head. So, it was science fiction to us even as we were doing it.’ – Alan Bean

‘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

‘Science has nothing to be ashamed of even in the ruins of Nagasaki. The shame is theirs who appeal to other values than the human imaginative values which science has evolved.’ – Jacob Bronowski

‘I discovered how science is truly a universal language, one that forges new connections among individuals and opens the mind to ideas that go far beyond the classroom.’ – Ahmed Zewail

‘People who dismiss science in favor of religion sometimes confuse the challenge of rigorously understanding the world with a deliberate intellectual exclusion that leads them to mistrust scientists and, to their detriment, what they discover.’ – Lisa Randall

‘If you go to planetary science meetings and hear technical talks on Pluto, you will hear experts calling it a planet every day.’ – Alan Stern

‘To overturn orthodoxy is no easier in science than in philosophy, religion, economics, or any of the other disciplines through which we try to comprehend the world and the society in which we live.’ – Ruth Hubbard

‘And by the way, I wanted to point out that Kindred is not science fiction. You’ll note there’s no science in it. It’s a kind of grim fantasy.’ – Octavia E. Butler

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

‘My grandmothers on both sides chose not to go to doctors and passed away. We were entrenched in the Christian Science faith.’ – Myles Kennedy

‘Data-intensive graph problems abound in the Life Science drug discovery and development process.’ – Leroy Hood

‘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

‘Economists should be modest and be aware that they are part of the broader social science community. We need to be pragmatic about the methods we use. When we need to do history, we should do history. When we need to study political science, we should study political science.’ – Thomas Piketty

‘There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.’ – Louis Pasteur

‘With ‘Futurama,’ I was just worried that somebody would beat us to it; it seemed so obvious that there should be an animated science fiction show set in the future. And one of the reasons why it’s not, I learned, is that it’s really, really difficult.’ – Matt Groening

‘I’d studied 16th century science and magic. I thought it was strange that people were interested in the same kinds of things my research was about. The more I thought about it, the more intriguing it became and pretty soon I was writing a novel about a reluctant witch and a 1500-year-old vampire.’ – Deborah Harkness

‘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

‘For one thing, you have the opportunity in science fiction shows to do things with stories – address issues and ideas – that you can’t in any other genre.’ – Tim Russ

‘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

‘The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.’ – Bertrand Russell

‘I was on the football team because I wanted to experience the different iconic social classes of high school. So football for me was an attempt to socially integrate in an interesting way. And then I didn’t like it anymore and stopped doing it and focused more on drama and science and other forms of art and music.’ – Reggie Watts

‘In ‘Cosmicomics,’ I came close to science fiction – I was inspired by cosmological subjects and the workings of the universe and invented a character who was a sort of witness to everything that was happening inside the solar system.’ – Italo Calvino

‘I think maths is the root of everything. If we understood every area of math, it would lead to improving our sense of science, physics, engineering, space travel… all those great things. Maths is a backbone for it.’ – Matt Haig

‘I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it.’ – Bianca Jagger

‘Science is basically an inoculation against charlatans.’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

‘It is only since linguistics has become more aware of its object of study, i.e. perceives the whole extent of it, that it is evident that this science can make a contribution to a range of studies that will be of interest to almost anyone.’ – Ferdinand de Saussure

‘I’ve only actively promoted what we always hope is good science.’ – Elizabeth Blackburn

‘It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it’s energy. It’s the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see.’ – Josef Albers

‘We especially need imagination in science.’ – Maria Mitchell

‘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

‘Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.’ – Oscar Wilde

‘The foundation of empire is art and science. Remove them or degrade them, and the empire is no more. Empire follows art and not vice versa as Englishmen suppose.’ – William Blake

‘The man of science is a poor philosopher.’ – Albert Einstein

‘Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can’t construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.’ – John Polkinghorne

‘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

‘Some of the greatest, most revolutionary advances in science have been given their initial expression in attractively modest terms, with no fanfare.’ – Daniel Dennett

‘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

‘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

‘Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.’ – Elbert Hubbard

‘Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity, its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors.’ – Stephen Jay Gould

‘The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.’ – William James

‘Indeed, I would feel that an appreciation of the arts in a conscious, disciplined way might help one to do science better.’ – Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

‘Science rules! – Bill Nye’ – Bill Nye

‘Science fiction writers aren’t fortune tellers. Fortune tellers are fakes.’ – William Gibson

‘It is possible in medicine, even when you intend to do good, to do harm instead. That is why science thrives on actively encouraging criticism rather than stifling it.’ – Richard Dawkins

‘All different forms of human expression, art, science, are going to become expanded, by expanding our intelligence.’ – Ray Kurzweil

‘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

‘The chief difficulty which prevents men of science from believing in divine as well as in nature Spirits is their materialism.’ – Helena Blavatsky

‘I was a very keen reader of science fiction.’ – Terry Pratchett

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

‘Darwin gives courage to the rest of science that we shall end up understanding literally everything, springing from almost nothing – a thought extremely hard to comprehend and believe.’ – Richard Dawkins

‘It is sometimes important for science to know how to forget the things she is surest of.’ – Jean Rostand

‘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

‘Science doesn’t in the slightest depend on trust. It depends completely on the belief that you can demonstrate something for yourself.’ – Walter Gilbert

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

‘Most fiction says you may or may not be alive tomorrow; science fiction talks often about the future.’ – Harlan Ellison

‘We would be in a nasty position indeed if empirical science were the only kind of science possible.’ – Edmund Husserl

‘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

‘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

‘In order for the United States to do the right things for the long term, it appears to be helpful for us to have the prospect of humiliation. Sputnik helped us fund good science – really good science: the semiconductor came out of it.’ – Bill Gates

‘The more science I studied, the more I saw that physics becomes metaphysics and numbers become imaginary numbers. The farther you go into science, the mushier the ground gets. You start to say, ‘Oh, there is an order and a spiritual aspect to science.” – Dan Brown

‘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

‘Science, as everyone knows, is responsible, moderate, unsentimental, and otherwise good.’ – Noam Chomsky

‘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

‘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

‘Bioethics is a very, very important field. As we get more and more in the arena of understanding science and getting better opportunities, the fact that you can do things with biological sciences that have an impact on a human being means you must have ethical standards.’ – Anthony Fauci

‘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

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

‘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 E. Butler

‘Of course in science there are things that are open to doubt and things need to be discussed. But among the things that science does know, evolution is about as certain as anything we know.’ – Richard Dawkins

‘Science has not been successful by making up explanations of things that fit with the current social fabric.’ – Kary Mullis

‘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

‘The bedrock nature of space and time and the unification of cosmos and quantum are surely among science’s great ‘open frontiers.’ These are parts of the intellectual map where we’re still groping for the truth – where, in the fashion of ancient cartographers, we must still inscribe ‘here be dragons.” – Martin Rees

‘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

‘In adapting to life in the melting pot of America, I discovered that the same soft power of science has a huge influence in building bridges between cultures and religions – and has the potential to do so with the Muslim world.’ – Ahmed Zewail

‘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

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

‘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

‘In Quakerism, your understanding of God is revised in light of your own experience, while in research science, you revise your model in light of data from experiments.’ – Jocelyn Bell Burnell

‘I’m on a crusade to get movie directors to get their science right because, more often than they believe, the science is more extraordinary than anything they can invent.’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

‘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

‘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

‘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

‘If you’ve read a lot of vintage science fiction, as I have at one time or another in my life, you can’t help but realise how wrong we get it. I have gotten it wrong more times than I’ve gotten it right. But I knew that when I started; I knew that before I wrote a word of science fiction.’ – William Gibson

‘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

‘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

‘Either data supports the observations or they don’t. Voting doesn’t work in science.’ – Alan Stern

‘I think the reason people are dealing with science less well now than 50 years ago is that it has become so complicated.’ – James D. Watson

‘I think the question is, are there women and have there been women who want to do science and could be doing great science, but they never really got the opportunity?’ – Vera Rubin

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

‘Innovations in science and technology are the engines of the 21st-century economy; if you care about the wealth and health of your nation tomorrow, then you’d better rethink how you allocate taxes to fund science. The federal budget needs to recognize this.’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

‘Science coverage could be improved by the recognition that science is timeless, and therefore science stories should not need to be pegged to an item in the news.’ – Richard Dawkins

‘Science reckons many prophets, but there is not even a promise of a Messiah.’ – Thomas Huxley

‘The best way to get students involved in science and want to follow either science careers or incorporate it in their lives or to achieve science literacy is to expose them to the various jobs in STEM. It’s broad from biologists to electricians to nanotechnologists to building fusion engines. It’s a wide range of things.’ – Mae Jemison

‘For years, my early work with Roger Penrose seemed to be a disaster for science. It showed that the universe must have begun with a singularity, if Einstein’s general theory of relativity is correct. That appeared to indicate that science could not predict how the universe would begin.’ – Stephen Hawking

‘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

‘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

‘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
