Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “Science has nothing to be ashamed of even in the ruins of Nagasaki. The shame is theirs who appeal to other values than the human imaginative values which science has evolved.”
    —Jacob Bronowski (1908–1974)

    “The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
    —Albert Einstein (1879–1955)

    “By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, to-day in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be regarded as a bête noire the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!”
    —Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
