Science, like art, is not a copy of nature but a re-creation of her.
Jacob Bronowski
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 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
Science has brought us power and ideas but not the wisdom or responsibility to handle them.
Peter J. Carroll
Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question "How?" but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question "Why?"
Erwin Chargaff
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
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
What scientists are attached to is journeys into the unknown and discovering things that are completely unexpected and baffling and surprising.
Brian Cox

Herbert Butterfield
When one longs for a drink, it seems as though one could drink a whole oceanthat is faith; but when one begins to drink, one can only drink altogether two glassesthat is science.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
In the end, science offers us the only way out of politics. And if we allow science to become politicized, then we are lost. We will enter the Internet version of the dark ages, an era of shifting fears and wild prejudices, transmitted to people who don't know any better.
John Michael Crichton
If you cant think of an observation that could disprove a theory, that theory simply isnt scientific.
Jerry Coyne
