Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars:
    General Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer,
    For Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.”
    —Elbert Hubbard (1856–1915)
