Science Quotes

This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it Picture Quote #1

Predicting has a spotty record in science fiction. I've had some failures. On the other hand, I also predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rise of fundamentalist Islam. And I'm not happy to be right in all of those cases Picture Quote #1

There's no doubt that scientific training helps many authors to write better science fiction. And yet, several of the very best were English majors who could not parse a differential equation to save their lives Picture Quote #1

Well, logos is science or reason, something that helps us to function practically and effectively in the world, and it must therefore be closely in tune and reflect accurately the realities of the world around us Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I've always seen the world through the eyes of a scientist. I love the predictable outcomes that science gives us, the control over the world that that can render Picture Quote #1

When I started in the business, there was a thing called adult fantasy, but nobody quite knew what it was, and most publishers didn't have an adult fantasy list. They had science fiction lists, which they stuck a little bit of fantasy into Picture Quote #1

I think that if the novel's task is to describe where we find ourselves and how we live now, the novelist must take a good, hard look at the most central facts of contemporary life technology and science Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense Picture Quote #1

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology Picture Quote #1

Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which fate demands a heavy tax in blood! Picture Quote #1

The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers Picture Quote #1

Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is, the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings, the chance to glimpse things never seen before, the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

All one's inventions are true, you can be sure of that. Poetry is as exact a science as geometry Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean that's faith; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two that's science Picture Quote #1

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce Picture Quote #1

One would have to have completely forgotten the history of science so as to not remember that the desire to know nature has had the most constant and the happiest influence on the development of mathematics Picture Quote #1

I did, although I didn't read from page 1 to page 187 but I read chunks of it. I did a little bit of science when I was in the university so I was able to understand the graphs and pie charts and stuff like that. It was extremely dry Picture Quote #1

Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated Picture Quote #1

Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not Picture Quote #1

There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere Picture Quote #1

Science is a first rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor Picture Quote #1

It has become almost a cliche to remark that nobody boasts of ignorance of literature, but it is socially acceptable to boast ignorance of science and proudly claim incompetence in mathematics Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
