As our own species is in the process of proving, one cannot have superior science and inferior morals. The combination is unstable and self-destroying.
William Clark
A record, if it is to be useful to science, must be continuously extended, it must be stored, and above all it must be consulted.
Vannevar Bush
On the wisdom with which we bring science to bear in the war against disease, in the creation of new industries, and in the strengthening of our Armed Forces depends in large measure our future as a nation.
Vannevar Bush
Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question "How?" but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question "Why?"
Erwin Chargaff
Magic is the science and the art of causing change to occur in conformity with will.
Peter J. Carroll
Science has brought us power and ideas but not the wisdom or responsibility to handle them.
Peter J. Carroll
The aim of science is to discover and illuminate truth. And that, I take it, is the aim of literature, whether biography or history or fiction. It seems to me, then, that there can be no separate literature of science.
Rachel Louise Carson
Knowledge is not happiness, and science But an exchange of ignorance for that Which is another kind of ignorance.
George Gordon (Noel) Byron, 6th Baron Byron
Science knows it doesn't know everything; otherwise, it'd stop. But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you.
Dara Briain
The fact that in Germany the politics were of the Right and in the United States of the Left should not mislead us. In both places the universities gave way under the pressure of mass movements, and did so in large measure because they thought those movements possessed a moral truth superior to any the university could provide. Commitment was understood to be profounder than science, passion than reason, history than nature, the young than the old.
Allan David Bloom
In science, read, by preference the newest works; in literature, the oldest. The classics are always modern.
Edward George Earl Bulwer Lytton
Science, like art, is not a copy of nature but a re-creation of her.
Jacob Bronowski
