"A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn't there."	Charles Robert
"A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, -- a mere heart of stone."	Charles Darwin
"A University of Chicago professor said the greatest day in the world was when a water puppy crawled out on land and decided to stay. The water puppy, he said, went on to become a man. If he proves that, I am willing to give up Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Day, and to celebrate Water Puppy Day."	William Jennings Bryan
"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
"All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it."	Richard P. Feynman
"Anyone who says that they can contemplate quantum mechanics without becoming dizzy has not understood the concept in the least."	Niels Bohr
"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."	Albert Einstein
"Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another."	Plato
"Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?"	Stephen Hawking
"Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of the imagination."	John Dewey
"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
"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
"I love fools� experiments. I am always making them."	Charles Darwin
"I viewed my fellow man not as a fallen angel, but as a risen ape."	Desmond Morris
"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 the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't."	Lyall Watson
"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
"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"	Albert Einstein
"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
"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
