Famous quotes containing the word science:

    Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey-cage.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
    Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
