Famous quotes containing the word state:

    “Science is neither a single tradition, nor the best tradition there is, except for people who have become accustomed to its presence, its benefits and its disadvantages. In a democracy it should be separated from the state just as churches are now separated from the state.”
    —Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
