Science Quotes

It takes a fearless, unflinching love and deep humility to accept the universe as it is. The most effective way he knew to accomplish that, the most powerful tool at his disposal, was the scientific method, which over time winnows out deception. It can’t give you absolute truth because science is a permanent revolution, always subject to revision, but it can give you successive approximations of reality Picture Quote #1

In science you need to understand the world; in business you need others to misunderstand it Picture Quote #1

Whether in the intellectual pursuits of science or in the mystical pursuits of the spirit, the light beckons ahead, and the purpose surging in our nature responds Picture Quote #1

Fantasy and science fiction can be literal as well as allegorical and there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a monster like a giant squid for what it is, as well as searching for metaphor Picture Quote #1

I was frightened by the optimism of adults, their stupid trust in science to treat a troubled heart. Afraid of their obsession with believing they have to treat troubled kids. I just wanted them to leave me alone, so how come they didn’t get it? But that’s the way it always is Picture Quote #1

…the samurai ethic is a political science of the heart, designed to control such discouragement and fatigue in order to avoid showing them to others. It was thought more important to look healthy than to be healthy, and more important to seem bold and daring than to be so. This view of morality, since it is physiologically based on the special vanity peculiar to men, is perhaps the supreme male view of morality Picture Quote #1

When asked if I am pessimistic or optimistic about the future, my answer is always the same: If you look at the science about what is happening on earth and aren’t pessimistic, you don’t understand data. But if you meet the people who are working to restore this earth and the lives of the poor, and you aren’t optimistic, you haven’t got a pulse. What I see everywhere in the world are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power, and incalculable odds in order to restore some semblance of grace, justice, and beauty to this world Picture Quote #1

One of the things I’ve always liked about science fiction is the way it makes you think about things, and look at things from angles you’d never have thought about before Picture Quote #1

Although science could pinpoint the exact spot in the brain that ignites rage, they had yet to identify the location that produces love Picture Quote #1

I saw the logic that they used, and the death of a thousand cuts as experimental scientists slowly chipped away at the belief that the world was an inexplicably powerful, magical place. Ultimately they failed, though. The magic never really went away. It waited, quietly, for people to return to it when they found the science wanting Picture Quote #1

Poetry is as necessary to comprehension as science. It is as impossible to live without reverence as it is without joy Picture Quote #1

Utopianism substitutes glorious predictions and unachievable promises for knowledge, science, and reason, while laying claim to them all Picture Quote #1

The fuel on which science runs is ignorance. Science is like a hungry furnace that must be fed logs from the forests of ignorance that surround us. In the process, the clearing we call knowledge expands, but the more it expands, the longer its perimeter and the more ignorance comes into view Picture Quote #1

People assume that they perceive reality as it is, that our senses accurately record the outside world. Yet the science suggests that, in important ways, people experience reality not as it is, but as they expect it to be Picture Quote #1

If contemporary literary fiction doesn’t read a bit like science fiction then it’s probably not all that contemporary, is it Picture Quote #1

And, before science had caught up with the legend, the legend had swallowed science and everything Picture Quote #1

Science is a smorgasbord, and google will guide you to the study that’s right for you Picture Quote #1

Science has revealed a universe that is vast, ancient, violent, strange, and beautiful, a universe of almost infinite variety and possibility one in which time can end in a black hole, and conscious beings can evolve from a soup of minerals Picture Quote #1

One of the strongest motives that leads men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness. Such men make this cosmos and its construction the pivot of their emotional life, in order to find the peace and security which they cannot find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience Picture Quote #1

For in the immediate world, everything is to be discerned, for him who can discern it, and central and simply, without either dissection into science, or digestion into art, but with the whole of consciousness, seeking to perceive it as it stands: so that the aspect of a street in sunlight can roar in the heart of itself as a symphony, perhaps as no symphony can: and all of consciousness is shifted from the imagined, the revisive, to the effort to perceive simply the cruel radiation of what is Picture Quote #1

A good science fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam Picture Quote #1

Botany, the science of the vegetable kingdom, is one of the most attractive, most useful, and most extensive departments of human knowledge. It is, above every other, the science of beauty Picture Quote #1

Business is not financial science, it’s about trading.. buying and selling. It’s about creating a product or service so good that people will pay for it Picture Quote #1

Every science in a certain degree starts from faith, and, on the contrary, faith, which does not lead to science, is mistaken faith or superstition, but real, genuine faith it is not Picture Quote #1

History is not the accumulation of events of every kind which happened in the past. It is the science of human societies Picture Quote #1

History is the only science enjoying the ambiguous fortune of being required to be at the same time an art Picture Quote #1

People often of masterful intelligence, trained usually in law or economics or perhaps in political science, who have led their governments into disastrous decisions and miscalculations because they have no awareness whatever of the historical background, the cultural universe, of the foreign societies with which they have to deal Picture Quote #1

There are a multitude of allied branches of knowledge connected with mans condition; the relation of these to political economy is analogous to the connexion of mechanics, astronomy, optics, sound, heat, and every other branch more or less of physical science, with pure mathematics Picture Quote #1

Poetry is important. No less than science, it seeks a hold upon reality, and the closeness of its approach is the test of its success Picture Quote #1

Science is best defined as a careful, disciplined, logical search for knowledge about any and all aspects of the universe, obtained by examination of the best available evidence and always subject to correction and improvement upon discovery of better evidence. What’s left is magic. And it doesn’t work Picture Quote #1
