Famous quotes containing the words research and/or experiments:

    “Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “My experiments did not turn out quite like yours, Henry. But science, like love, has her little surprises.”
    —William Hurlbut (1883–?)
