Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “The so-called science of poll-taking is not a science at all but mere necromancy. People are unpredictable by nature, and although you can take a nation’s pulse, you can’t be sure that the nation hasn’t just run up a flight of stairs.”
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    “Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    “Oh, what does science not conceal today! How much, at any rate, is it meant to conceal!”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
