Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “We have lost the art of living; and in the most important science of all, the science of daily life, the science of behaviour, we are complete ignoramuses. We have psychology instead.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Science is analytical, descriptive, informative. Man does not live by bread alone, but by science he attempts to do so. Hence the deadliness of all that is purely scientific.”
    —Eric Gill (1882–1940)

    “Oh, what does science not conceal today! How much, at any rate, is it meant to conceal!”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
