Quote DB :: Science Search in this category Nature (14) Sponsored Links Quote Author Rating Rate "All science, even the divine science, is a sublime detective story. Only it is not set to detect why a man is dead; but the darker secret of why he is alive." GK Chesterton "For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform the soul to reality. For magic and applied science alike the problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men." C.S. Lewis "It is very easy to tell the difference between man-made and God-made objects. The more you magnify man-made objects, the cruder they look, but the more you magnify God-made objects, the more precise and intricate they appear." Luther Sutherland "A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, -- a mere heart of stone." Charles Darwin "I viewed my fellow man not as a fallen angel, but as a risen ape." Desmond Morris "Science never solves a problem without creating ten more." George Bernard Shaw "A University of Chicago professor said the greatest day in the world was when a water puppy crawled out on land and decided to stay. The water puppy, he said, went on to become a man. If he proves that, I am willing to give up Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day, and to celebrate Water Puppy Day." William Jennings Bryan "I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown." Woody Allen "Science is the tool of the Western mind and with it more doors can be opened than with bare hands. It is part and parcel of our knowledge and obscures our insight only when it holds that the understanding given by it is the only kind there is." Carl Jung "The fact of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an improved theory, is it then a science or faith?" Charles Darwin "A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there." Charles Robert "Natural selection, the unconscious, automatic, blind yet essentially non-random process that Darwin discovered, has no purpose in mind. If it can be said to play the role of watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker." Richard Dawkins "Scientists make a guess and call it a hypothesis. 'Guess' is too short a word for a professor." William Jennings Bryan "Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor." Oliver Wendell Holmes "I love fools’ experiments. I am always making them." Charles Darwin "Paley's argument is made with passionate sincerity and is informed by the best biological scholarship of his day, but it is wrong, gloriously and utterly wrong."
