Famous quotes containing the word science:

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

    “The negative cautions of science are never popular. If the experimentalist would not commit himself, the social philosopher, the preacher, and the pedagogue tried the harder to give a short- cut answer.”
    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    “When we say “science” we can either mean any manipulation of the inventive and organizing power of the human intellect: or we can mean such an extremely different thing as the religion of science the vulgarized derivative from this pure activity manipulated by a sort of priestcraft into a great religious and political weapon.”
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
