Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.”
    —Jules Henri Poincare (1854–1912)

    “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)

    “What happened at Hiroshima was not only that a scientific breakthrough ... had occurred and that a great part of the population of a city had been burned to death, but that the problem of the relation of the triumphs of modern science to the human purposes of man had been explicitly defined.”
