Science fiction without the science just becomes, you know, sword and sorcery, basically stories about heroism and not much more.
— Michio Kaku
It's not a science when you are judging art, but we'd be remiss to say you can't look at something and say, 'This is more well done than that.'
— Matthew McConaughey
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.
— Emile Durkheim
I believe that science is the engine of prosperity, that if you look around at the wealth of civilization today, it's the wealth that comes from science.
— Michio Kaku
Running for office was definitely something I've thought about. When I was younger, I wanted to major in political science. And I've been engaged in current events since I was a kid. If I can make a difference and feel passionately and capable, then I would. Why not?
— Queen Latifah
Textbook science is beautiful! Textbook science is comprehensible, unlike mere fascinating words that can never be truly beautiful. Elementary science textbooks describe simple theories, and simplicity is the core of scientific beauty. Fascinating words have no power, nor yet any meaning, without the math.
— Eliezer Yudkowsky
One of the strangest features of string theory is that it requires more than the three spatial dimensions that we see directly in the world around us. That sounds like science fiction, but it is an indisputable outcome of the mathematics of string theory.
— Brian Greene
Creativity is essential to particle physics, cosmology, and to mathematics, and to other fields of science, just as it is to its more widely acknowledged beneficiaries - the arts and humanities.
— Lisa Randall
We know that to compete for the jobs of the 21st century and thrive in a global economy, we need a growing, skilled and educated workforce, particularly in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math. Americans with bachelor's degrees have half the unemployment rate of those with a high school degree.
— Mark Pocan
The very large brain that humans have, plus the things that go along with it - language, art, science - seemed to have evolved only once. The eye, by contrast, independently evolved 40 times. So, if you were to 'replay' evolution, the eye would almost certainly appear again, whereas the big brain probably wouldn't.
— Richard Dawkins
How any government could promote the Vardy academies in the North-East of England is absolutely beyond me. Tony Blair defends them on grounds of diversity, but it should be unthinkable in the 21st century to have a school whose head of science believes the world is less than 10,000 years old.
— Richard Dawkins
Science is increasingly answering questions that used to be the province of religion.
— Stephen Hawking
Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe.
— Stephen Hawking
Human resources are just tremendous in Egypt, but we need the science base; we need the correct science base.
— Ahmed Zewail
The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.
— Richard P. Feynman
The first education to be a good chemist is to do well in high school science courses. Then, you go to college to really become a chemist. You want to take science and math. Those are the main things.
— Mario J. Molina
As our technology evolves, we will have the capacity to reach new, ever-increasing depths. The question is what kind of technology, in the end, do we want to deploy in the far reaches of the ocean? Tools of science, ecology and documentation, or the destructive tools of heavy industry?
— Philippe Cousteau, Jr.
Chemical synthesis is uniquely positioned at the heart of chemistry, the central science, and its impact on our lives and society is all pervasive.
— Elias James Corey
I studied computer science and graphic design, yeah, so music was self-taught and a backburner thing, an obsessive hobby.
— Tycho
The essence of science is independent thinking, hard work, and not equipment. When I got my Nobel Prize, I had spent hardly 200 rupees on my equipment.
— C. V. Raman
There has no doubt to be fundamental research in science, but applied research is equally important for new improvements and changes in our techniques.
— Lal Bahadur Shastri
The problem is that once we focus on economic policy, much that is not science comes into play. Politics becomes involved, and political posturing is amply rewarded by public attention.
— Robert J. Shiller
Society lives by faith, and develops by science.
— Henri Frederic Amiel
He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.
— William Blake
I decry the current tendency to seek patents on algorithms. There are better ways to earn a living than to prevent other people from making use of one's contributions to computer science.
— Donald Knuth
History is, in its essentials, the science of change. It knows and it teaches that it is impossible to find two events that are ever exactly alike, because the conditions from which they spring are never identical.
— Marc Bloch
Even when I was studying mathematics, physics, and computer science, it always seemed that the problem of consciousness was about the most interesting problem out there for science to come to grips with.
— David Chalmers
The question that I started off with was, I thought, very simple. It was just 'Is there a massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way?' But one of the things I love about science is that you always end up with new questions.
— Andrea M. Ghez
A report released by the Partnership for a New American Economy and the Partnership for New York City predicts that by 2018, there will be 800,000 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) jobs in the United States that require a master's degree or higher - and only around 550,000 American-graduates with this training.
— Marvin Ammori
He is so old that his blood type was discontinued.
— Bill Dana
You cannot feed the hungry on statistics.
— Heinrich Heine
Bush reiterated his stand to conservatives opposing his decision on stem cell research. He said today he believes life begins at conception and ends at execution.
— Jay Leno
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.
— Lewis Thomas
In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
— Stephen Jay Gould
The great tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
— Thomas Huxley
When I find myself in the company of scientists, I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a room full of dukes.
— W. H. Auden
Art is I science is we. 
— Claude Bernard
The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
— Gaston Bachelard
Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions.
— Gregory Bateson
The credit which the apparent conformity with recognized scientific standards can gain for seemingly simple but false theories may, as the present instance shows, have grave consequences.
— Friedrich August von Hayek
This means that to entrust to science - or to deliberate control according to scientific principles - more than scientific method can achieve may have deplorable effects.
— Friedrich August von Hayek
That's what Hubble can do for us. It can tell us whether the universe is expanding forever or if one day it's going to come back together.
— Duane G. Carey
For an object under the eye will appear very different from the same object placed above it; in an inclosed space, very different from the same in an open space.
— Vitruvius
We don't regard any scientific theory as the absolute truth.
— Kenneth R. Miller
Most people don't realize it, because they're invisible, but microbes make up about a half of the Earth's biomass, whereas all animals only make up about one one-thousandth of all the biomass.
— Craig Venter
Heisenberg, Max Plank and Einstein, they all agreed that science could not solve the mystery of the universe.
— Harry Dean Stanton
I had no talent for science. What was infinitely worse: all my fraternity brothers were engineers.
— Kurt Vonnegut
If you look at the history of our country over the last 100 years, there have been periods where science and research have been celebrated. They were really kind of held up as heroes in society, which encouraged a generation of people to go into these fields.
— Mark Zuckerberg
Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.
— Thomas Szasz
I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.
— Charles Lindbergh
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
— Robert A. Heinlein
I like to browse in occult bookshops if for no other reason than to refresh my commitment to science.
— Heinz R. Pagels
The theory of relativity worked out by Mr. Einstein, which is in the domain of natural science, I believe can also be applied to the political field. Both democracy and human rights are relative concepts - and not absolute and general.
— Jiang Zemin
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.
— Richard Powers
Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.
— Albert Einstein
Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.
— Philip K. Dick
In science, the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to whom the idea first occurs.
— Francis Darwin
Experimentation is an active science.
— Claude Bernard
Before I was reading science fiction, I read Hemingway. Farewell to Arms was my first adult novel that said not everything ends well. It was one of those times where reading has meant a great deal to me, in terms of my development - an insight came from that book.
— Robert Reed
Conflict between science and religion a dangerous foe.
— Henry Norris Russell
Thousands of years ago, humans domesticated every possible large wild mammal species fulfilling all those criteria and worth domesticating, with the result that there have been no valuable additions of domestic animals in recent times, despite the efforts of modern science.
— Jared Diamond
The major obstacle to a religious renewal is the intellectual classes, who are highly influential and tend to view religion as primitive superstition. They believe that science has left atheism as the only respectable intellectual stance.
— Robert Bork
The commonality between science and art is in trying to see profoundly - to develop strategies of seeing and showing.
— Edward Tufte
Agency by agency, we frequently have lost a bit of ground, at least to inflation-but had it not been for the efforts we've made to educate people about the importance of science, technology and advanced education, those predictions very well might have come true.
— Charles Vest
It is this conception of the unity of the human career which is perhaps the greatest achievement of historical study, since it gained a place analogous to that of natural science.
— James Henry Breasted
Even in our day, science suspects beyond the Polar seas, at the very circle of the Arctic Pole, the existence of a sea which never freezes and a continent which is ever green.
— Helena Blavatsky
We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity.
— Margaret J. Wheatley
We would be in a nasty position indeed if empirical science were the only kind of science possible.
— Edmund Husserl
I became kind of a drop-out in science after I came back to America. I wanted to photograph.
— Imogen Cunningham
At a time when science plays such a powerful role in the life of society, when the destiny of the whole of mankind may hinge on the results of scientific research, it is incumbent on all scientists to be fully conscious of that role, and conduct themselves accordingly.
— Joseph Rotblat
I did not imagine that the second half of my life would be spent on efforts to avert a mortal danger to humanity created by science.
— Joseph Rotblat
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.
— David Brin
I'm crazy about Grant: his character, his nature, his science in fighting and everything else. But I don't like the idea that he never accepted the blame for anything, always found someone else to blame for any mistake that was ever made, including blaming Prentiss for Shiloh.
— Shelby Foote
Indeed science alone may perhaps be sterile when pursued without an understanding of the world in which scientific knowledge is created and in which the fruits of science are used.
— Polykarp Kusch
I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it.
— Bianca Jagger
Certainly, it may bring to light such a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter as to constitute a veritable discontinuity in the progress of science.
— Ernest Lawrence
Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible as well.
— Roy H. Williams
I think computer science, by and large, is still stuck in the Modern age.
— Larry Wall
I certainly saw science as a kind of calling, and one with as much legitimacy as a religious calling.
— Joshua Lederberg
I'd like to put in a vote for the intrinsic fascination of science.
— Joshua Lederberg
In consequence, science is more important than ever for industrial technology.
— Kenneth G. Wilson
In science, all facts, no matter how trivial or banal, enjoy democratic equality.
— Mary McCarthy
In science the important thing is to modify and change one's ideas as science advances.
— Herbert Spencer
After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.
— Marie Curie
It's time to let science and medicine, not politics and rhetoric, lead us to good, sound policy.
— Eliot Spitzer
Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich.
— Gilbert K. Chesterton
Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.
— George Eliot
The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.
— Bertrand Russell
Philosophy of science without history of science is empty history of science without philosophy of science is blind. 
— Imre Lakatos
To pursue science is not to disparage the things of the spirit. In fact, to pursue science rightly is to furnish the framework on which the spirit may rise.
— Vannevar Bush
And as we continue to improve our understanding of the basic science on which applications increasingly depend, material benefits of this and other kinds are secured for the future.
— Henry Taube
I think mistakes are the essence of science and law. It's impossible to conceive of either scientific progress or legal progress without understanding the important role of being wrong and of mistakes.
— Alan Dershowitz
Fracking is doable if there's full disclosure of all chemicals used. Secondly, science dictates the policy rather than politics. Third, there's collaboration between environmental groups and the natural gas industry.
— Bill Richardson
Faulkner is a writer who has had much to do with my soul, but Hemingway is the one who had the most to do with my craft - not simply for his books, but for his astounding knowledge of the aspect of craftsmanship in the science of writing.
— Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Since Hiroshima and the Holocaust, science no longer holds its pristine place as the highest moral authority. Instead, that role is taken by human rights. It follows that any assault on Jewish life - on Jews or Judaism or the Jewish state - must be cast in the language of human rights.
— Jonathan Sacks
What underlies great science is what underlies great art, whether it is visual or written, and that is the ability to distinguish patterns out of chaos.
— Diana Gabaldon
I'm from the Madeleine L'Engle school. The more she delves into science, the more she knows there's a creator who's behind these amazing laws, these amazing events. The symmetry of nature, the structure and order of it.
— Tom Shadyac
If you look at the purported dangers of salt or fat, there is no consensus of support in scientific literature. So I would ask first: 'Is it possible to have an informed government that actually follows the science?' From what I've seen, it's not likely.
— Tim Ferriss
I went through the standard scientific atheist phase when I was about 14. I bought into that package deal of science equals atheism.
— Rupert Sheldrake
Though we do need more women to graduate with technical degrees, I always like to remind women that you don't need to have science or technology degrees to build a career in tech.
— Susan Wojcicki
Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products.
— James Dyson
Fiction, maybe art in general, is a tentative, uncertain enterprise; it's not science, it's an exploration, but you never find much in the way of answers.
— Tim O'Brien
Science does not limit itself merely to what is currently verifiable. But it is interested in questions that are potentially verifiable (or, rather, falsifiable).
— Sam Harris
Science fiction isn't just thinking about the world out there. It's also thinking about how that world might be - a particularly important exercise for those who are oppressed, because if they're going to change the world we live in, they - and all of us - have to be able to think about a world that works differently.
— Samuel R. Delany
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.
— Alexis Denisof
Science is the pursuit of pure truth, and the systematizing of it.
— P. T. Barnum
I really believe in science. It is a faith. It is a reverence akin to religion. But as we always say, it's different from religion in that, as near as we can tell, it exists outside of us. It has an objective quality, the process of science.
— Bill Nye
You don't need a science degree to understand about science. You just need to think about it.
— Bill Bryson
Why is computer science a good field for women? For one thing, that's where the jobs are, and for another, the pay is better than for many jobs, and finally, it's easier to combine career and family.
— Madeleine M. Kunin
When I was about 9 years old, I became very interested in the human body and diseases. In general, I was just curious about the world around me. I think that any sort of curiosity as a child is a good beginning to a career in science because science, at least to me, is a continuous exploration of the unknown.
— Eva Vertes
I'm enormously interested to see where neuroscience can take us in understanding these complexities of the human brain and how it works, but I do think there may be limits in terms of what science can tell us about what does good and evil mean anyway, and what are those concepts about?
— Francis Collins
I think science is a foreign land for many people, so I think of my role as an ambassador's job.
— Marcus du Sautoy
There is a science to managing high tech businesses, and it needs to be respected. One of them is that in technology businesses, leadership is temporary. It's constantly recycling. So the asset has limited lifetime.
— Eric Schmidt
Many schools today are sacrificing social studies, the arts and physical education so children can cover basic subjects like math, English and science.
— Geoffrey Canada
If you want to go beyond that small percentage of people who are already environmentally and scientifically aware, you have to make your work somehow link with a passion, interest, or profession of someone who isn't interested in science or nature.
— Nalini Nadkarni
Man, in the collective sense, is the hero of science. Man, in the collective sense, is the hero of Earth.
— Jacque Fresco
I'm not of a science background, I was never a comic book geek, and I was never a gamer.
— Niall Matter
Please don't make the mistake of thinking that 'Oryx and Crake' is anti-science. Science is a way of knowing, and a tool. Like all ways of knowing and tools, it can be turned to bad uses. And it can be bought and sold, and it often is. But it is not in itself bad. Like electricity, it's neutral.
— Margaret Atwood
Yes - 90% of fantasy is crap. And so is 90% of science fiction and 90% of mystery fiction and 90% of literary fiction.
— George R. R. Martin
Music is an art that goes well beyond science. Proof can be found in the huge amount of studies that have been carried out throughout the world based on music-therapy and the important results achieved.
— Andrea Bocelli
My science teachers always encouraged their classes to 'go out and discover something' because all scientific endeavors depend on observation and experimentation. Through such pursuits, anyone can find something new to science, and if it's truly novel, the entire edifice of science might have to be restructured.
— Greg Graffin
I think I regard any history in quotes, because just like science, we're constantly revising science, we're constantly revising history. There's no question that various victors throughout history have flat out lied about certain events or written themselves into things, and then you come along and you find out that this disproves that.
— David S. Goyer
Sometimes people talk about conflict between humans and machines, and you can see that in a lot of science fiction. But the machines we're creating are not some invasion from Mars. We create these tools to expand our own reach.
— Ray Kurzweil
Science and mindfulness complement each other in helping people to eat well and maintain their health and well-being.
— Nhat Hanh
Science operates in the natural, not the supernatural. In fact, I go so far as to state that there is no such thing as the supernatural or the paranormal.
— Michael Shermer
If you go into science, I think you better go in with a dream that maybe you, too, will get a Nobel Prize. It's not that I went in and I thought I was very bright and I was going to get one, but I'll confess, you know, I knew what it was.
— James D. Watson
My whole life has been basically trying to find intelligent students or, you know, highly motivated students and giving them an opportunity to do good science.
— James D. Watson
We need to be more conversant with it because science is in our lives. It's in everything. It's in the food we eat. It's in the air we breathe. It's everywhere.
— Alan Alda
I love technology, and I love science. It's just always all in the way you use it. So there's no - you can't really blame anything on the technology. It's just the way people use it, and it always has been.
— Steve Martin
I think that prog rock is the science fiction of music. Science fiction speculates on what the future might be and look like and how we'll get there, and yet there's always a central theme of humanity, or there should be. Progressive rock has the same concept of exploration into the parts of the music world that hasn't been explored.
— William Shatner
My father was a professor of political science and also a young politician fighting for democracy in Kenya, and when things got ugly, he went into political exile in Mexico.
— Lupita Nyong'o
I just am a huge cheerleader for getting kids interested in science and technology.
— Vint Cerf
Religion can have psychological and social roles, but in terms of really explaining how things work, science works differently. Science is based on material elements at the core.
— Lisa Randall
It's sort of nice in more general terms to see that computational science, computational biology is being recognized. It's become a very large field, and it's always in some ways been the poor sister, or the ugly sister, to experimental biology.
— Michael Levitt
You can't train kids in a world where adults have no concept of what science literacy is. The adults are gonna squash the creativity that would manifest itself, because they're clueless about what it and why it matters. But science can always benefit from the more brains there are that are thinking about it - but that's true for any field.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson
While I'm a big fan of science fiction, especially as rendered in expensive Hollywood blockbusters, it's the real universe that calls to me.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson
Let's say intelligence is your ability to compose poetry, symphonies, do art, math and science. Chimps can't do any of that, yet we share 99 percent DNA. Everything that we are, that distinguishes us from chimps, emerges from that one-percent difference.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson
We're at peak oil, peak water, peak resources, and so either we figure it out and let science lead or we head down a very bad, dark trail to where a lot of people aren't going to make it.
— Henry Rollins
To mistrust science and deny the validity of scientific method is to resign your job as a human. You'd better go look for work as a plant or wild animal.
— P. J. O'Rourke
Science is a little bit more than a wonderful way of modelling and predicting it's a wonderful technical abstraction. I think science is a really wonderful technical abstraction. 
— Bernard Beckett
I'm fond of science fiction. But not all science fiction. I like science fiction where there's a scientific lesson, for example - when the science fiction book changes one thing but leaves the rest of science intact and explores the consequences of that. That's actually very valuable.
— Richard Dawkins
I have found far greater enthusiasm for science in America than here in Britain. There is more enthusiasm for everything in America.
— Stephen Hawking
All the leadership positions that I have had have one common denominator: none has required that I give up my science work.
— Mildred S. Dresselhaus
Networked science has the potential to speed up dramatically the rate of discovery across all of science.
— Michael Nielsen
In art, as in science, reductionism does not trivialize our perception - of color, light, and perspective - but allows us to see each of these components in a new way.
— Eric Kandel
If you were a kid in 1955, you would pick up a copy of 'Popular Science' and it would say, 'This is the kind of car you're going to be driving in five years or in 20 years you'll be able to take a jet plane from New York to London in four hours,' or something like that. We actually got used to the idea that the future's going to be different.
— David Gerrold
I never took a computer science course in college, because then it was a thing you just learned on your own.
— Mitchel Resnick
The scientists who attack mainstream religion, rather than striving for peaceful coexistence with it, damage science, and also weaken the fight against fundamentalism.
— Martin Rees
Basic science provides long-term benefits for ourselves and our fragile planet and should be supported by all the world's societies.
— David Lee
When you're doing a film called 'Interstellar,' at some point - the idea was to be grounded in the science as much as possible - but with a name like 'Interstellar,' you had better go somewhere big and bold.
— Jonathan Nolan
There's a magical energy and power from the ocean. I was born in a room overlooking the sea, in the middle of a storm. Perhaps, then, it's not surprising that shores touch my soul. Science might disagree, but I think there's a difference in the air on a coast - the positive ions, perhaps.
— Jo Beverley
I want to make a drug. I want the science to be more than imaginary, where I think, 'We're learning these fundamental principles, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.' I think we are doing that, but I want to do something really practical. I want to actually, in my lifetime, help people.
— Bonnie Bassler
Before I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others.
— Stephen Hawking
I've always resented the force of attraction that traps me here on Planet Earth. It makes me feel like a bug stuck to a piece of duct tape. Ever since my teenage years, when I used to read a lot of science fiction and took it much too seriously, I've dreamed of somehow reaching escape velocity. I am, you might say, anti-gravity.
— Charles Platt
Science is the quintessential international endeavour, and the sterling reputation of the Nobel awards is partly due to the widely-perceived lack of national and other biases in the selection of the laureates.
— John O'Keefe
The U.S. can still maintain research institutions, such as Caltech, that are the envy of the world, yet it would be hubristic and naive to think that this position is sustainable without investing in science education and basic research.
— Ahmed Zewail
One of the reasons I like working with schools is to try to convince women that they can be scientists and that science can be fun.
— Nancy Roman
Moonshots live in that place between audacious projects and pure science fiction.
— Astro Teller
You look at science fiction and look how often it talks about being alien, being alienated about the other. Look at the number of blue people - 'Avatar,' I'm looking at you. And it is now easier to find people of color in science-fiction literature and media, but the issues of representation are still really, really troubling.
— Nalo Hopkinson
I had no specific bent toward science until my grandfather died of cancer. I decided nobody should suffer that much.
— Gertrude B. Elion
My research career has been devoted to understanding human decision-making and problem-solving processes. The pursuit of this goal has led me into the fields of political science, economics, cognitive psychology, computer science and philosophy of science, among others.
— Herbert A. Simon
I had been interested in science from when I was very young, but after a disastrous summer lab experience in which every experiment I tried failed, I decided on graduating from college that I was not cut out to be a scientist.
— Martin Chalfie
Science and the many benefits that science has produced have played a crucial part in our history and produced vast improvements to human welfare.
— John Sulston
People want to think of economics as a natural science, like physics, with the comforting reliability of simple-to-understand theories like F=MA. Unfortunately, it isn't. Economics is a social science, and the so-called theories are really social and moral constructs.
— Nick Hanauer
If anyone offers conjectures about the truth of things from the mere possibility of hypotheses, I do not see by what stipulation anything certain can be determined in any science, since one or another set of hypotheses may always be devised which will appear to supply new difficulties.
— Isaac Newton
As we talk with candour, we open the doors to new possibilities and new areas of cooperation in advance in democracy, in combating terrorism, in energy and environment, science and technology and international peacekeeping.
— Atal Bihari Vajpayee
Science, literature, and common sense tell us that the self is a fickle thing, subject to revision in real time, and that the chasm that exists between any two people exists inside each and every one of us.
— Jesse Kellerman
I think a lot of people have an idea of virtual reality from science fiction, books and movies that have been out over the last couple of decades.
— Brendan Iribe
From a purely positivist point of view, man is the most mysterious and disconcerting of all the objects met with by science.
— Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Most science fiction is based on our knowledge now and uses that to project the future.
— Judith Tarr
My work is mostly about longing, human relationships, science and children - and a little bit about ghosts and reincarnation.
— Amy Gerstler
Science in textbooks is not fun. But if you start doing science yourself, you will find delight.
— Masatoshi Koshiba
As for my studies in school, I was a solid student. I was strong in English and Latin, but I got lost anytime the subject included math. I wish I had paid more attention to biology and science in general, subjects that came to interest me as an adult. I could have gotten better marks, but I never took a book home, never did homework.
— Dick Van Dyke
Science and technology are the keys to both our longevity and our demise. Our entire existence on this planet is a double-edged sword.
— Rhys Darby
Surgical Anatomy is, to the student of medicine and surgery, the most essential branch of anatomical science, having reference more especially to an accurate knowledge of the more important regions, and consisting in the application of anatomy generally to the practice of surgery.
— Henry Gray
I always say to my students that being a scientist is like being an explorer, and I really mean that because, in a sense, I think in science we explore the world, the universe around us.
— Roderick MacKinnon
Historically, science and society have gone separate ways, although society has provided the funds for science to grow, and in return, science has given society all the material things it enjoys.
— Renato Dulbecco
Corporate America limits the world to consumerism. Science can limit it to the material world. Even religion limits it to a lot of theories that can explain everything. I think we need cinema to break that apart and remind us that we're not in control, and we don't understand as much as we think do.
— Scott Derrickson
Culture cannot be separated from politics. The arts, philosophy and metaphysics, religion and the sciences, constitute culture. Politics are the science or art of organizing our relationships to allow for the development of life in society.
— Eugene Ionesco
If spiritual science is to do the same for spirit that natural science has done for nature, it must investigate quite differently from the latter. It must find ways and means of penetrating into the sphere of the spiritual, a domain which cannot be perceived with outer physical senses nor apprehended with the intellect which is bound to the brain.
— Rudolf Steiner
The history of our spiritual life is a continuing search for the unity between ourselves and the world. Religion, art, and science follow, one and all, this aim.
— Rudolf Steiner
I was a Social Science major in college, with an emphasis in secondary education. I took as many courses on the American colonial era and westward expansion as I could. This turned out to be wonderful preparation for writing fantasy novels.
— Rae Carson
My friends have said, 'Wait, you're pretty, and you sing? What do you mean you're interested in science?' I have to just hold my head and go, 'Do you hear yourself?' By no means should you ever limit yourself because of what others think or because of their perceptions of what someone looks like in a certain field.
— Auli'i Cravalho
More and more jobs are applying cutting-edge technologies and now demand deeper knowledge of math and science in positions that most people don't think of as STEM-related, including machinists, electricians, auto techs, medical technicians, plumbers and pipefitters.
— Rex Tillerson
The art of entrepreneurship and the science of Customer Development is not just getting out of the building and listening to prospective customers. It's understanding who to listen to and why.
— Steve Blank
What I knew was I liked math and science, and I never wanted to memorize everything. I wanted to understand where it came from.
— Ginni Rometty
I read science fiction every single day of my life. It's my primary love.
— Twinkle Khanna
Something is wrong that we have to feed so many. Why should there be poverty with all of our science and technology? There is no deficit in human resources - it is a deficit in human will.
— Coretta Scott King
We are really battling, today in the U.S., keeping science education in the forefront at the elementary level, and that's where the research shows that kids get interested.
— Steve Spangler
I've finished 12th standard from Poddar International and enrolled for B.A. in political science in Cambridge University, London. It's a correspondence course, and I'll go to London for my exams once a year. That way, I can devote more time to films.
— Hansika Motwani
Widening the talent pipeline sufficiently will require a generational commitment to teaching math and science, providing technical training, and mentoring young people of all backgrounds so they understand the full range of possibilities that a career in technology affords.
— John T. Chambers
Biotech 1.0 is slow, like a lab science, and Version 2.0 is more like computational sciences.
— Steve Jurvetson
No one has a monopoly on truth, and science continues to advance. Yesterday's heresies may be tomorrow's conventional wisdom.
— Dean Ornish
Science fiction always has had strains of pessimism and optimism weaving through its historical development, sometimes one dominating and then the other, usually depending on the state of the world.
— James Gunn
I don't join the New Atheists. So, for example, I wouldn't have the arrogance to lecture some mother who hopes to see her dying child in Heaven - that's none of my business, ultimately. I won't lecture her on the philosophy of science.
— Noam Chomsky
I've always been interested in science - one of my favourite books is James Watson's 'Molecular Biology of the Gene.'
— Bill Gates
I'm on a crusade to get movie directors to get their science right because, more often than they believe, the science is more extraordinary than anything they can invent.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson
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.
— Richard Dawkins
To an honest judge, the alleged marriage between religion and science is a shallow, empty, spin-doctored sham.
— Richard Dawkins
If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed.
— Stephen Hawking
I believe there are no questions that science can't answer about a physical universe.
— Stephen Hawking
The science is settled; it's not even a consensus, it is a unanimity that human life begins at conception.
— Marco Rubio
Mars has been flown by, orbited, smacked into, radar inspected, and rocketed onto, as well as bounced upon, rolled over, shoveled, drilled into, baked, and even laser blasted.
— Buzz Aldrin
I love science fiction - always have.
— Simon Sinek
Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first level alert to think about things to come. It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching to them. Every science fiction movie I have ever seen, any one that's worth its weight in celluloid, warns us about things that ultimately come true.
— Steven Spielberg
Touch a scientist and you touch a child.
— Ray Bradbury
Everything you see is filtered through your visual system (imperfect) and your brain (also imperfect, despite what your mom told you). Witness testimony is the worst kind of evidence in science.
— Seth Shostak
You may not see massive UFO exhibits at your local science museum, but there's no dearth of saucer stories infesting my email. Every day, I receive several reports of alien sightings, extraterrestrial plans for Earth, and agitated screeds about the reluctance of scientists to take the whole subject seriously.
— Seth Shostak
Typically, only about 2 percent of the American populace tunes in to PBS's 'Nova' series - the most successful science show on the tube. 'Survivor' and 'X Factor' get twice the ratings.
— Seth Shostak
Traditional science assumes, for the most part, that an objective observer independent reality exists; the universe, stars, galaxies, sun, moon and earth would still be there if no one was looking.
— Deepak Chopra
There's something about studying body language and non-spoken emotion - I know the innate response. But to really study it like a science would be fun.
— Shia LaBeouf
I couldn't have gotten sober without rehab because I needed the science.
— Rob Lowe
The crossroads of science and politics is a dodgy place.
— Nancy Gibbs
Science, already oppressive with its shocking revelations, will perhaps be the ultimate exterminator of our human species - if separate species we be - for its reserve of unguessed horrors could never be borne by mortal brains if loosed upon the world.
— H. P. Lovecraft
Science has explained nothing the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness. 
— Aldous Huxley
The selfsame procedure which zoology, a branch of the natural sciences, applies to the study of animals, anthropology must apply to the study of man; and by doing so, it enrolls itself as a science in the field of nature.
— Maria Montessori
The ideas associated with the problems of the development of science, as far as I can see by looking around me, are not of the kind that everyone appreciates.
— Richard P. Feynman
People challenge my nerd cred all the time. I just show them the photo of me winning my middle-school science fair, wearing my Casio calculator watch and eyeglasses so big they look like they can see the future.
— Aisha Tyler
When a herd of cattle see a strange object, they are not satisfied till each one has sniffed it; and the horse is cured of his fright at the robe, or the meal-bag, or other object, as soon as he can be induced to smell it. There is a great deal of speculation in the eye of an animal, but very little science.
— John Burroughs
The Jetsons had them in the 1960s. They were the defining element of 'Knight Rider' in the 1980s: cars that drive themselves. Self-driving cars appear in countless science fiction movies. By Hollywood standards, they are so normal we don't even notice them. But in real life, they still don't exist. What if you could buy one today?
— Sebastian Thrun
I believe in general in a dualism between facts and the ideas of those facts in human heads.
— George Santayana
Theory helps us to bear our ignorance of facts.
— George Santayana
Kim Il Sung University is the central base for training national cadres and the highest institute of Juche-based science and education.
— Kim Jong-un
Wandering around the web is like living in a world in which every doorway is actually one of those science fiction devices which deposit you in a completely different part of the world when you walk through them. In fact, it isn't like it, it is it.
— Douglas Adams
In my brief sojourn in college, my favorite classes were political science because I loved the idea of systems we can set up that benefit society - rules we can put in place that sometimes you run against, sometimes they're painful, but ultimately they benefit the world.
— Matt Mullenweg
Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
— Honore de Balzac
My parents wanted me to be a doctor. So I took up science, but then realised that my heart was not in it at all. The thought of treating ailing people was very depressing.
— Kangana Ranaut
It should be that every child, when they leave school, can do ten meals, because when they leave home, they've got to be able to eat healthily. Blow the science of it and everything else. They've just got to be able to know what's good for them, how to buy it, and how to make a few dishes that they enjoy and don't cost too much.
— Mary Berry
The nineteenth century believed in science but the twentieth century does not.
— Gertrude Stein
Science is a self-correcting discipline that can, in subsequent generations, show that previous ideas were not correct.
— Brian Greene
I like physics. I think it is the best science out of all three of them, because generally it's more useful. You learn about speed and velocity and time, and that's all clever stuff.
— Tom Felton
Politics I conceive to be nothing more than the science of the ordered progress of society along the lines of greatest usefulness and convenience to itself.
— Woodrow Wilson
A river is a river, independent of whether there are other rivers nearby. In science, we call things what they are based on their attributes, not what they're next to.
— Alan Stern
I think people are realizing that engineering and science are extremely good degrees to get and you'll be very highly paid once you've got them.
— James Dyson
Fiction is lies; we're writing about people who never existed and events that never happened when we write fiction, whether its science fiction or fantasy or western mystery stories or so-called literary stories. All those things are essentially untrue. But it has to have a truth at the core of it.
— George R. R. Martin
More and more NFL players have been willing their bodies to science so that their brains can be studied even if they die of other causes.
— Jeffrey Kluger
Science has yet to isolate the Godiva Chocolate or Prada gene, but that doesn't mean your weakness for pricey swag isn't woven into your DNA. According to a new study of identical twins, it's less TV ads or Labor Day sales that make you buy the things you do than the tastes and temperaments that are already part of you at birth.
— Jeffrey Kluger
I often compare open source to science. To where science took this whole notion of developing ideas in the open and improving on other peoples' ideas and making it into what science is today and the incredible advances that we have had. And I compare that to witchcraft and alchemy, where openness was something you didn't do.
— Linus Torvalds
I am fascinated by the engineering. The science of constructing and understanding why it stands. And I am drawn by the madness, the beauty, the theatricality, the poetry and soul of the wire. And you cannot be a wire-walker without mingling those two ways of seeing life.
— Philippe Petit
I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students.
— Carl Sagan
To me it's no accident that all the symphony orchestras around the world tune up to the note A. And A is 440 cycles, except in Germany where it's 444. But the universe is 450 cycles. So what I'm trying to say is, I think it's God's voice, melody especially. Counterpoint, retrograde inversion, harmony... that's the science and the craft.
— Quincy Jones
I hate facts. I always say the chief end of man is to form general propositions - adding that no general proposition is worth a damn.
— Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
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.
— Jane Goodall
