Text Quotes
The art of an artist must be his own art. It is... always a continuous chain of little inventions, little technical discoveries of ones own, in ones relation to the tool, the material and the colors (Discoveries Quotes)
Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself (Discoveries Quotes)
There seems to be one quality of mind which seems to be of special and extreme advantage in leading him to make discoveries. It was the power of never letting exceptions go unnoticed (Discoveries Quotes)
It is obvious that anything a scientist discovers or invents is based on previous discoveries and inventions. The same applies to the arts (Discoveries Quotes)
All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more strongly the truths come from on high, and contained in the sacred writings (Discoveries Quotes)
A scientist is no more a collector and classifier of facts than a historian is a man who complies and classifies a chronology of the dates of great battles and major discoveries (Discoveries Quotes)
Cubism did not accept the logical consequences of its own discoveries; it was not developing abstraction towards its own goal, the expression of pure reality (Discoveries Quotes)
The great and unlooked for discoveries that have taken place of late years have all concurred to lead many men into the opinion that we were touching on a period big with the most important changes (Discoveries Quotes)
A successful society is characterized by a rising living standard for its population, increasing investment in factories and basic infrastructure, and the generation of additional surplus, which is invested in generating new discoveries in science and technology (Discoveries Quotes)
On certain occasions, the eyes of the mind can supply the want of the most powerful telescopes, and lead to astronomical discoveries of the highest importance (Discoveries Quotes)
Many discoveries must have been stillborn or smothered at birth. We know only those which survived (Discoveries Quotes)
The big discoveries raise questions that make astronomers work feverishly and argue with an agitation that verges on rudeness (Discoveries Quotes)
The obscurest sayings of the truly great are often those which contain the germ of the profoundest and most useful truths. Genius rapidly traverses the living present to bury itself in the deepest mysteries of the universe; often making the grandest discoveries at a single glance (Discoveries Quotes)
To open up the new, to look back on the old may bring forth like discoveries in the practice of art (Discoveries Quotes)
There are almost no limits to the discoveries of how the human brain operates in illness and health, in sleep and waking and dreaming, in calm and under tension. The question is how far man can put these discoveries to use without using them not for cure but for power (Discoveries Quotes)
The strain of constant adaptation to so many fearful events and discoveries is already too much to bear with sanity; one has to keep pretending to slip successfully into the new mould; a time will come when the tailored and camouflaged mind breaks beneath the burden; the stick insect in our brains no longer cares to resemble a twig on the same habitual human tree in the mere hope that it may survive extinction (Discoveries Quotes)
By observing natural scientific discoveries through a perception deepened by meditation, we can develop a new awareness of reality. This awareness could become the bedrock of a spirituality that is not based on the dogmas of a given religion, but on insights into a higher and deeper meaning. I am referring to the ability to recognize, to read, and to understand the firsthand revelations (Discoveries Quotes)
Great inventions are never, and great discoveries are seldom, the work of any one mind. Every great invention is really an aggregation of minor inventions, or the final step of a progression. It is not usually a creation, but a growth, as truly so as is the growth of the trees in the forest (Discoveries Quotes)
You must not blame us scientists for the use which war technicians have put our discoveries (Discoveries Quotes)
All great scientists have, in a certain sense, been great artists; the man with no imagination may collect facts, but he cannot make great discoveries (Discoveries Quotes)
Progress in science depends on new techniques, new discoveries and new ideas, probably in that order (Discoveries Quotes)
Even mistaken hypotheses and theories are of use in leading to discoveries. This remark is true in all the sciences. The alchemists founded chemistry by pursuing chimerical problems and theories which are false. In physical science, which is more advanced than biology, we might still cite men of science who make great discoveries by relying on false theories. It seems, indeed, a necessary weakness of our mind to be able to reach truth only across a multitude of errors and obstacles (Discoveries Quotes)
Men will gather knowledge no matter what the consequences. Science will go on whether we are pessimistic or optimistic, as I am. More interesting discoveries than we can imagine will be made, and I am awaiting them, full of curiosity and enthusiasm (Discoveries Quotes)
The philosopher of science is not much interested in the thought processes which lead to scientific discoveries; he looks for a logical analysis of the completed theory, including the establishing its validity. That is, he is not interested in the context of discovery, but in the context of justification (Discoveries Quotes)
If others would but reflect on mathematical truths as deeply and continuously as I have, they would make my discoveries (Discoveries Quotes)
Mathematical discoveries, like springtime violets in the woods, have their season which no human can hasten or retard (Discoveries Quotes)
The real achievement in discoveries... is seeing an analogy where no one saw one before... The essence of discovery is that unlikely marriage of... previously unrelated forms of reference or universes of discourse, whose union will solve the previously insoluble problem (Discoveries Quotes)
Recent discoveries about apes suggest, however, that a gorilla or common chimp stands at least as good a chance being murdered as the average human (Discoveries Quotes)
Only now I’m learning to enjoy not being in charge of what the next stroke will do to the whole painting. I’m still learning that there are no mistakes, only discoveries (Discoveries Quotes)
If the juices of the body were more chymically examined, especially by a naturalist, that knows the ways of making fixed bodies volatile, and volatile fixed, and knows the power of the open air in promoting the former of those operations; it is not improbable, that both many things relating to the nature of the humours, and to the ways of sweetening, actuating, and otherwise altering them, may be detected, and the importance of such discoveries may be discerned (Discoveries Quotes)
