Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
    —Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)

    “Science is facts. Just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts. But a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.”
    —Jules Henri Poincare (1854–1912)
