Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “As a science of the unconscious it is a therapeutic method, in the grand style, a method overarching the individual case. Call this, if you choose, a poet’s utopia.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “The universe is the externisation of the soul. Wherever the life is, that bursts into appearance around it. Our science is sensual, and therefore superficial. The earth, and the heavenly bodies, physics, and chemistry, we sensually treat, as if they were self-existent; but these are the retinue of that Being we have.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

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