Here I was into astronomy, and here into anthropology, and there I go into geology. It was much more fun to be able to research and write about whatever I wanted to Picture Quote #1

I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can’t really do much with those in a fantasy setting Picture Quote #1

The narrow sectarian cannot read astronomy with impunity. The creeds of his church shrivel like dried leaves at the door of the observatory Picture Quote #1

O how loud It calls devotion! Genuine growth of night! Devotion! Daughter of Astronomy! As undevout Astronomer is mad Picture Quote #1

You will certainly not doubt the necessity of studying astronomy and physics, if you are desirous of comprehending the relation between the world and Providence as it is in reality, and not according to imagination Picture Quote #1

Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, and delicately balanced to provide exactly the conditions required to support life. In the absence of an absurdly improbable accident, the observations of modern science seem to suggest an underlying, one might say, supernatural plan Picture Quote #1

Philosophy begins where religion ends, just as by analogy chemistry begins where alchemy runs out, and astronomy takes the place of astrology Picture Quote #1

Astronomy is not the apex of science or of invention. But it is a test of the cast of temperament and mind that underlies a culture Picture Quote #1

Geology, in the magnitude and sublimity of the objects of which it treats, undoubtedly ranks, in the scale of the sciences, next to astronomy Picture Quote #1

Those arts which are, to be sure, not finite, as geometry and arithmetic, do not suffer adornment; others, contrarily, are rather subject to division and embellishment, such as astronomy and jurisprudence Picture Quote #1

Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes, biology is about microscopes or chemistry is about beakers and test tubes. Science is not about tools. It is about how we use them, and what we find out when we do Picture Quote #1

Cosmology does, I think, affect the way that we perceive humanity’s role in nature. One thing we’ve learnt from astronomy is that the future lying ahead is more prolonged than the past. Even our sun is less than halfway through its life Picture Quote #1

Astronomy would not provide me with bread if men did not entertain hopes of reading the future in the heavens Picture Quote #1

The scorn which I had reason to fear on account of the novelty and unconventionality of my opinion almost induced me to abandon completely the work which I had undertaken... Astronomy is written for astronomers. To them my work too will seem, unless I am mistaken, to make some contribution Picture Quote #1

It is much better to learn the elements of geology, of botany, or ornithology and astronomy by word of mouth from a companion than dully from a book Picture Quote #1

If astronomy teaches anything, it teaches that man is but a detail in the evolution of the universe, and the resemblant though diverse details are inevitably to be expected in the hosts of orbs around him. He learns that, though he will probably never find his double anywhere, he is destined to discover any number of cousins scattered through space Picture Quote #1

The calendar is intolerable to all wisdom, the horror of all astronomy, and a laughing stock from a mathematician’s point of view Picture Quote #1

I knew that even if I were second or third rate, it was astronomy that mattered Picture Quote #1

Architects should be educated, skillful with the pencil, instructed in geometry, know much history, have followed the philosophers with attention, understand music, have some knowledge of medicine, know the opinions of the jurists, and be acquainted with astronomy and the theory of the heavens Picture Quote #1

The sculptor, and the painter also, should be trained in these liberal arts: grammar, geometry, philosophy, medicine, astronomy, perspective, history, anatomy, theory of design, arithmetic Picture Quote #1

I think music is about our internal life. It’s part of the way people touch each other. That’s very precious to me. And astronomy is, in a sense, the very opposite thing. Instead of looking inwards, you are looking out, to things beyond our grasp Picture Quote #1
