Scientific Theories

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or theories:

    The scientific spirit is of more value than its products, and irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    The real trouble about women is that they must always go on trying to adapt themselves to men’s theories of women, as they always have done. When a woman is thoroughly herself, she is being what her type of man wants her to be. When a woman is hysterical it’s because she doesn’t quite know what to be, which pattern to follow, which man’s picture of woman to live up to.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
