"People like to imagine that because all our mechanical equipment moves so much faster, that we are thinking faster, too."
Christopher Morley
"I viewed my fellow man not as a fallen angel, but as a risen ape."
Desmond Morris
"Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe."
Galileo Galilei
"Science never solves a problem without creating ten more."
George Bernard Shaw
"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
"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."
GK Chesterton
"Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science."
Henri Poincare
"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny...'"
Isaac Asimov
"The Law of conservation of energy tells us we can't get something for nothing, but we refuse to believe it."
Isaac Asimov
"I keep the subject of my inquiry constantly before me, and wait till the first dawning opens gradually, by little and little, into a full and clear light."
Isaac Newton
"To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science."
Isaac Newton
"Why is it that you physicists always require so much expensive equipment? Now the Department of Mathematics requires nothing but money for paper, pencils, and erasers...and the Department of Philosophy is better still. It doesn't even ask for erasers."
Isaac Asimov
"If one could conclude as to the nature of the Creator from a study of his creation it would appear that God has a special fondness for stars and beetles."
J.B.S. Haldane
"Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose."
J.B.S. Haldane
"Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of the imagination."
John Dewey
"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
"If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't."
Lyall Watson
"Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Anyone who says that they can contemplate quantum mechanics without becoming dizzy has not understood the concept in the least."
Niels Bohr
"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
