Text Quotes
When Coleridge tried to define beauty, he returned always to one deep thought; beauty, he said, is unity in variety! Science is nothing else than the search to discover unity in the wild variety of nature,-or, more exactly, in the variety of our experience. Poetry, painting, the arts are the same search, in Coleridge’s phrase, for unity in variety (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
Ask an impertinent question and you are on the way to the pertinent answer (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
The most wonderful discovery made by scientists is science itself (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
Progress is the exploration of our own error (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
A theory in its day helps to solve the problems of the day (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
The central opposition between magic and science is the opposition between power and knowledge (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
The most remarkable discovery ever made by scientists was science itself (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
The world today is made, it is powered by science; and for any man to abdicate an interest in science is to walk with open eyes towards slavery (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
It is not the business of science to inherit the earth, but to inherit the moral imagination; because without that, man and beliefs and science will perish together (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
A man becomes creative, whether he is an artist or scientist, when he finds a new unity in the variety of nature. He does so by finding a likeness between things which were not thought alike before (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
To me the most interesting thing about man is that he is an animal who practices art and science and in every known society practices both together (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
All those formal systems, in mathematics and physics and the philosophy of science, which claim to give foundations for certain truth are surely mistaken. I am tempted to say that we do not look for truth, but for knowledge. But I dislike this form of words, for two reasons. First of all, we do look for truth, however we define it, it is what we find that is knowledge. And second, what we fail to find is not truth, but certainty; the nature of truth is exactly the knowledge that we do find (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
Man is not the most majestic of the creatures; long before the mammals even, the dinosaurs were far more splendid. But he has what no other animal possesses: a jigsaw of faculties, which alone, over three thousand million years of life, made him creative. Every animal leaves traces of what he was. Man alone leaves traces of what he created (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
The problem of values arises only when men try to fit together their need to be social animals with their need to be free men. There is no problem, and there are no values, until men want to do both. If an anarchist wants only freedom, whatever the cost, he will prefer the jungle of man at war with man. And if a tyrant wants only social order, he will create the totalitarian state (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
We receive experience from nature in a series of messages. From these messages we extract a content of information: that is, we decode the messages in some way. And from this code of information we then make a basic vocabulary of concepts and a basic grammar of laws, which jointly describe the inner organization that nature translates into the happenings and the appearances we meet (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
Science is a very human form of knowledge. We are always at the brink of the known; we always feel forward for what is to be hoped. Every judgment in science stands on the edge of error and is personal. Science is a tribute to what we can know although we are fallible (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: They must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
The wish to hurt, the momentary intoxication with pain, is the loophole through which the pervert climbs into the minds of ordinary men (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
The world is full of people who never quite get into the first team and who just miss the prizes at the flower show (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
One aim of the physical sciences has been to give an exact picture of the material world. One achievement of physics in the twentieth century has been to prove that that aim is unattainable (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
The world can only be grasp by action, not by contemplation... The hand is the cutting edge of the mind (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
We are all shot through with enough motives to make a massacre, any day of the week that we want to give them their head (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
Dissent is the native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt whether it will be a man (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
Fifty years from now if an understanding of man’s origins, his evolution, his history, his progress is not in the common place of the school books we shall not exist (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
I grew up to be indifferent to the distinction between literature and science, which in my teens were simply two languages for experience that I learned together (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
We gain our ends only with the laws of nature; we control her only by understanding her laws (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
To me, being an intellectual doesn’t mean knowing about intellectual issues; it means taking pleasure in them (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
The world is made up of people who never quite get into the first team and who just miss the prizes at the flower show (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
The values by which we are to survive are not rules for just and unjust conduct, but are those deeper illuminations in whose light justice and injustice, good and evil, means and ends are seen in fearful sharpness of outline (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it (Jacob Bronowski Quotes)
