Theories Quotes

The world is too big and too intricate to conform to our ideas of what it should be like... Just because we invent myths and theories to explain away the chaos we’re still going to live in a world that’s older and more complicated than we’ll ever understand Picture Quote #1

I was shocked to find that there were actually climate scientists who wouldn’t share the raw data, but would only share their conclusions in summary graphs that were used to prove their various theories about planet warming. In fact I began to smell something really bad, and the worse that smell got, the deeper I looked Picture Quote #1

Science is based on the possibility of objectivity, on the possibility of different people checking out for themselves the observations made by others. Without that possibility, there is no empirical principle capable of deciding between different arguments and theories Picture Quote #1

When I ask the angels for answers to the human mystery, I find they guide me to a sense of peace and comfort in my soul. The angels do this not by bringing me answers and intricate theories, but by bringing me creative ways of responding to life with light in my heart Picture Quote #1

Facts per se can neither prove nor refute anything. Everything is decided by the interpretation and explanation of the facts, by the ideas and the theories Picture Quote #1

The truth of faith about creation is radically opposed to the theories of materialistic philosophy. These view the cosmos as the result of an evolution of matter reducible to pure chance and necessity Picture Quote #1

Learning to learn is to know how to navigate in a forest of facts, ideas and theories, a proliferation of constantly changing items of knowledge. Learning to learn is to know what to ignore but at the same time not rejecting innovation and research Picture Quote #1

I am not limiting myself to theories, so I never question the rightness to my approach Picture Quote #1

The unphilosophical majority among men are the ones most helplessly dependent on their era’s dominant ideas. In times of crises these men need the guidance of some kind of theory; but, being unfamiliar with the field of ideas, they do not know that alternatives to the popular theories are possible. They know only what they have always been taught Picture Quote #1

Theories are like scaffolding: they are not the house, but you cannot build the house without them Picture Quote #1

The routine of custom tends to deaden even scientific inquiry; it stands in the way of discovery and of the active scientific worker. For discovery and inquiry are synonymous as an occupation. Science is a pursuit, not a coming into possession of the immutable; new theories as points of view are more prized than discoveries that quantitatively increase the store on hand Picture Quote #1

I love radical theorists. But at the same time, I don’t agree with them a lot, but I love their theories. I love how they intellectualize rage, and this inner battle that such a tiny percent of people really care about. I find that the most interesting Picture Quote #1

Good theories of the mind must span at least three different scales of time: slow, for the billions of years in which our brains have survivied; fast, for the fleeting weeks and months of childhood; and in between, the centuries of growth of our ideas through history Picture Quote #1

I have nothing but myself to write about, no facts, no theories, no opinions, no adventures, no sentiments, nothing but my own poor barren individualism, of considerable interest to me, but I do not know why I should presume it will be so to you. Egotism is not tiresome, or it ought not to be, if one is sincere about oneself; but it is so hard to be sincere. Well, never mind, I mean to be, and you know me well enough to see through me when I am humbugging Picture Quote #1

There can be theory but, you know, the problem is you’ve got to be able to test it. So theories are one thing, testing is another Picture Quote #1

When you have a regime that would be happier in the afterlife than in this life, this is not a regime that is subject to classic theories of deterrence Picture Quote #1

Progress in science is often built on wrong theories that are later corrected. It is better to be wrong than to be vague Picture Quote #1

For theories and schools, like microbes and corpuscles, devour one another and by their strife ensure the continuity of life Picture Quote #1

The average, vague understanding of being can be permeated by traditional theories and opinions about being in such a way that these theories, as the sources of the prevailing understanding, remain hidden Picture Quote #1

Pseudoscience describes theories that sound like science but are actually just made up, like aromatherapy or biorhythms or love Picture Quote #1

It is instructive, although somewhat disheartening, for the ardent advocate of a purely scientific psychology to contrast the practice and theories of his colleagues with those of the students of the principal physical sciences Picture Quote #1

If all the theories were correct, there wouldn’t be a fish left in all of our lakes and rivers and streams Picture Quote #1

We know that there is no absolute knowledge, that there are only theories; but we forget this. The better educated we are, the harder we believe in axioms Picture Quote #1

History is, and has always been trameled by facts. It may ignore some and deny others; but it cannot accommodate itself unreservedly to theories; it cannot be stripped of things evidenced in favor of things surmised Picture Quote #1

People with theories of life are, perhaps, the most relentless of their kind, for no time or place is sacred from their devastating elucidations Picture Quote #1

Relativity. Gravity. Quantum. Electrodynamics. Evolution. Each of these theories is true, whether or not you believe in them Picture Quote #1

The thesis that the universe has an originating divine cause is logically inconsistent with all extant definitions of causality and with a logical requirement upon these and all possible valid definitions or theories of causality Picture Quote #1

People have many theories about comedy, but being just plain funny is the one most important thing Picture Quote #1

Science progresses not by convincing the adherents of old theories that they are wrong, but by allowing enough time to pass so that a new generation can arise unencumbered by the old errors Picture Quote #1

And theories are no more than fictions which help us to make sense of experience and which are subject to disconfirmation when their explanations are no longer adequate Picture Quote #1
