Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “Everything in science depends on what one calls an aperçu, on becoming aware of what is at the bottom of the phenomena. Such becoming aware is infinitely fertile.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Science is feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated; when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of science lies in the art of making science.”
    —Paul Valéry (1871–1945)

    “When science is learned in love, and its powers are wielded by love, they will appear the supplements and continuations of the material creation.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
