Scientific Knowledge

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or knowledge:

“A superstition which pretends to be scientific creates a much greater confusion of thought than one which contents itself with simple popular practices.”

“It is what we imagine knowledge to be:
dark, salt, clear, moving, utterly free,
drawn from the cold hard mouth
of the world, derived from the rocky breasts
forever, flowing and drawn, and since
our knowledge is historical, flowing, and flown.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
