It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.
Albert EinsteinEvery woman and every man is the mother of God when we carry Jesus in our heart and body through a divine love and a pure sincere conscience. We give birth to Him through a holy activity which must shine as an example before others.
Francis of AssisiWhenever the poetry of myth is interpreted as biography history or science it is killed. The living images become only remote facts of a distant time or place. Furthermore it is never difficult to demonstrate that as science and history mythology is absurd.
Joseph CampbellScience fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet but soon will and will change everything for everybody and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible never the impossible.
Ray BradburyScience coverage could be improved by the recognition that science is timeless and therefore science stories should not need to be pegged to an item in the news.
Richard DawkinsThe environment is everything that isn't me.
Albert EinsteinIt stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature.
Albert EinsteinThe method of political science is the interpretation of life, its instrument is insight a nice understanding of subtle unformulated conditions.
Woodrow WilsonThere are many silly superstitions about lightning and as a result many people - maybe even you - are terrified of it. You shouldn't worry. Thanks to modern science we now know that lightning is nothing more than huge chunks of electricity that can come out of the sky anytime anywhere and kill you.
Dave BarryThe work of science is to substitute facts for appearances and demonstrations for impressions.
John RuskinThe very problem of mind and body suggests division, I do not know of anything so disastrously affected by the habit of division as this particular theme. In its discussion are reflected the splitting off from each other of religion morals and science, the divorce of philosophy from science and of both from the arts of conduct. The evils which we suffer in education in religion in the materialism of business and the aloofness of "intellectuals" from life in the whole separation of knowledge and practice -- all testify to the necessity of seeing mind-body as an integral whole.
John DeweyI sit here and think with more than a little astonishment that I have been writing and publishing Science Fiction now for just three-eighths of a century. This isn't bad for someone who only admits to being in his late youth- or a little over thirty if pinned down.
Isaac AsimovWe have not given science too big a place in our education, but we have made a perilous mistake in giving it too great a preponderance in method in every other branch of study.
Woodrow WilsonThe most exciting phrase to hear in science the one that heralds the most discoveries is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny'
Isaac AsimovThere will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities so absolutely terrifying that even man the fighter who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death will be appalled and so abandon war forever.
Thomas A. EdisonI do not believe in God, his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp I learned to believe in men.
Jean-Paul SartreThe media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.
Stephen HawkingScience is not only a disciple of reason but also one of romance and passion.
Stephen HawkingThe science of Yoga was assigned great prominence in the past by Indians.
Sai BabaThe greatest advances of civilization whether in architecture or painting in science and literature in industry or agriculture have never come from centralized government.
Milton FriedmanAs long as our government is administered for the good of the people and is regulated by their will, as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property liberty of conscience and of the press it will be worth defending.
Andrew JacksonTheology is a science of mind applied to God.
Henry Ward BeecherIndividual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today -- but the core of science fiction its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.
Isaac AsimovThe most exciting phrase to hear in science the one that heralds new discoveries is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny ..."
Isaac AsimovIf a wave of service sweeps over the land catching everyone in its enthusiasm it will be able to wipe off the mounds of hatred malice and greed that infest the World. Attune your hearts so that it will vibrate in sympathy with the woes and joys of your fellow-men. Fill the World with Love. Love will warn you against advising another to do something which you yourself are unwilling to do, your conscience will tell you that you are living in a lie!
Sai BabaEverything is fraught with danger. I love technology and I love science. It's just always all in the way you use it. So there's no - you can't really blame anything on the technology. It's just the way people use it and it always has been.
Steve MartinThe inquiry in England is not whether a man has talents and genius but whether he is passive and polite and a virtuous ass and obedient to noblemen's opinions in art and science. If he is he is a good man. If not he must be starved.
William BlakeI have seen the science I worshiped and the aircraft I loved destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.
Charles LindberghArt is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death. God is Jesus.
William BlakeThe only guide to man is his conscience, the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield because we are so often mocked by the failure of our hopes and the upsetting of our calculations, but with this shield however the fates may play we march always in the ranks of honor.
Winston Churchill
