Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or terms:
“The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
“One of your biggest jobs as a parent of multiples is no bigger than simply talking to your children individually and requiring that they respond to you individually as well. The benefits of this kind of communication can be enormous, in terms of the relationship you develop with each child, in terms of their language development, and eventually in terms of their sense of individuality, too.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
