Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “Nothing great in science has ever been done by men, whatever their powers, in whom the divine afflatus of the truth-seeker was wanting.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “In our science and philosophy, even, there is commonly no true and absolute account of things. The spirit of sect and bigotry has planted its hoof amid the stars. You have only to discuss the problem, whether the stars are inhabited or not, in order to discover it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age.”
    —Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
