Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    “The trouble with tea is that originally it was quite a good drink. So a group of the most eminent British scientists put their heads together, and made complicated biological experiments to find a way of spoiling it. To the eternal glory of British science their labour bore fruit.”
    —George Mikes (b. 1912)

    “Man lives for science as well as bread.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
