Nature (14)

Quote	Author	Rating	Rate
"Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of the imagination."	John Dewey
"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
"If you are obliged to neglect any thing, let it be your chemistry. It is the least useful and the least amusing to a country gentleman of all the ordinary branches of science."	Thomas Jefferson
"All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it."	Richard P. Feynman
"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
"Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it."	Richard P. Feynman
"A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there."	Charles Robert
"Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another."	Plato
"If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset."	C.S. Lewis
"Man's conquest of Nature turns out, in the moment of its consummation, to be Nature's conquest of Man."	C.S. Lewis
"The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms."	Albert Einstein
"No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong."	Albert Einstein
"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"	Albert Einstein
"I viewed my fellow man not as a fallen angel, but as a risen ape."	Desmond Morris
"Anyone who says that they can contemplate quantum mechanics without becoming dizzy has not understood the concept in the least."	Niels Bohr
"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
"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
"What is now proved was once only imagined."	William Blake
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."	Albert Einstein
"I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown."	Woody Allen
