Famous quotes containing the word science:

    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    “Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “There are some things in science which should be brought to light. There are others, doctor, which should be left alone.”
    —Griffin Jay, Maxwell Shane (1905–1983)
