Science Quotes

There’s the whole myth about rocket science. It’s really not that hard. It’s not brain surgery Picture Quote #1

The feeling of understanding is as private as the feeling of pain. The act of understanding is at the heart of all scientific activity; without it any ostensibly scientific activity is as sterile as that of a high school student substituting numbers into a formula. For this reason, science, when I push the analysis back as far as I can, must be private Picture Quote #1

A life spent in the routine of science need not destroy the attractive human element of a woman’s nature Picture Quote #1

You ask whether I am going over to the history of science... no, I am not as old as that Picture Quote #1

Notice how every science fiction movie or television show starts with a shot of the location where the story is about to occur. Movies that take place in outer space always start with a shot of stars and a starship. Movies that take place on another world always start with a shot of that planet. This is to let you know where you are. Novels and stories start the same way. You have to give the reader a sense of where he is and what’s happening as quickly as possible. You don’t want to start the story by confusing the reader Picture Quote #1

Science really creates wealth and opportunity which did not exist before. Whereas the old order was based on competition, the new order of science makes possible, for the first time, a cooperative creative effort in which every one is the gainer and no one the loser Picture Quote #1

I have always loved magic realism as a form of writing. I have also been fascinated for a long time with the intersection of science and religion Picture Quote #1

As both a scientist and a humanist myself, I have struggled to understand different claims to knowledge, and I have eventually come to a formulation of the kind of religious belief that would, in my view, be compatible with science Picture Quote #1

For me, consciousness is the most interesting unsolved problem of science, and, in fact, we may never know what it is about a particular arrangement of neurons that gives rise to consciousness. Our consciousness, like the air we breathe or like the passage of time, is central to our existence as intelligent beings Picture Quote #1

I oppose any belief that contradicts experimental evidence as determined by the methods of science. All beliefs not in such contradiction may be considered as faith. Whether faith in a particular belief is beneficial or not is another matter Picture Quote #1

Novels aren’t pedagogical instruments, or instructions in law or physics or any other discipline. A novel has to be an emotional experience, a trip of the imagination, and because science has raised so many issues that concern and affect humans, it’s a good starting place for me Picture Quote #1

With a background in science I am extremely interested in the meeting ground of science, theology, and philosophy, especially the ethical questions at the border of science and theology Picture Quote #1

The roles of art, morality, religion, political faith, science itself are not to repair organic exhaustion nor to provide sound functioning of the organs. All this supraphysical life is built and expanded not because of the demands of the cosmic environment but because of the demands of the social environment Picture Quote #1

It is science, and not religion, which has taught men that things are complex and difficult to understand Picture Quote #1

It’s kind of a misnomer about science fiction that science fiction is about anything other than people. It’s about people doing stuff, sometimes doing extraordinary stuff Picture Quote #1

I would much rather watch a horror film or science fiction than a comedy. I don’t know why. I just like them. I find them relaxing Picture Quote #1

I’m not much interested in extrapolating science and technology; I merely use extrapolation as a means of putting people into new quandaries which produce colorful pressures and conflicts Picture Quote #1

I believe we can prevent or delay most disease until the 9th or 10th decade. The goal is to prevent anything that can affect your quality of life prior to those years! By the time many of us get to the 9th or 10th decade, who knows where the new medical and science will take us? I am an optimist! Picture Quote #1

Every kid I meet who’s a reader has got something like that, their fantasy world. And science fiction is the best, especially for girls because it’s the one place where you can do the forbidden Picture Quote #1

I think we’re all fascinated and a little mystified by how the brain works. One of the most mysterious of the physical sciences is neurological science Picture Quote #1

Science is objective. And in my view we cannot take any experimental results seriously except in the light of good explanations of them Picture Quote #1

Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t born an artist. I was really good in science as a kid. I probably shouldn’t have been an artist because I’m much more interested in science. But I was raised by artists. I can’t really escape it Picture Quote #1

Invented languages have often been created in tandem with entire invented universes, and most conlangers come to their craft by way of fantasy and science fiction Picture Quote #1

Society understands the architecture of academia and knows there are relevant qualifications in different fields, and the media accepts the idea of specialisations and accords greater respect to those with greater expertise. With one exception: climate science Picture Quote #1

Wikipedia was a big help for science, especially science communication, and it shows no sign of diminishing in importance Picture Quote #1

Science of mind teaches you how to realize how much control you have over your own life. It teaches you that we have the ability to change our lives at any point we choose Picture Quote #1

I can remember picking up weighty tomes on the history of science and the history of philosophy and reading those when I was small Picture Quote #1

I’ve actually usually been wary of taking on science fiction as an actor because it’s really tough to do. It’s really difficult to execute. There’s often lots of prosthetics, green screen and special effects, and it can get very technical Picture Quote #1

The increasing technicality of the terminology employed is also a serious difficulty. It has become necessary to learn an extensive vocabulary before a book in even a limited department of science can be consulted with much profit. This change, of course, has its advantages for the initiated, in securing precision and concisement of statement; but it tends to narrow the field in which an investigator can labour, and it cannot fail to become, in the future, a serious impediment to wide inductive generalisations Picture Quote #1
