"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity."
Albert Einstein
"It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."
Charles Darwin
"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
"I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown."
Woody Allen
"Man's conquest of Nature turns out, in the moment of its consummation, to be Nature's conquest of Man."
C.S. Lewis
"Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe."
Galileo Galilei
"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
"No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong."
Albert Einstein
"No doubt those who really founded modern science were usually those whose love of truth exceeded their love of power."
C.S. Lewis
"Nothing before had ever made me thoroughly realise, though I had read various scientific books, that science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them."
Charles Darwin
"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
"Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"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."
Richard Dawkins
"People like to imagine that because all our mechanical equipment moves so much faster, that we are thinking faster, too."
Christopher Morley
"Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it."
Richard P. Feynman
"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
"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
"Science is not about building a body of known 'facts'. It is a method for asking awkward questions and subjecting them to a reality-check, thus avoiding the human tendency to believe whatever makes us feel good."
Terry Pratchett
"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
"Science never solves a problem without creating ten more."
George Bernard Shaw
