science quotes

• After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well. (Albert Einstein) [high/skill/science/art]
• Advertising: the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it. (Stephen Leacock) [advertising/science/human/intelligence]
• New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure. (Herbert Hoover) [science/willpower]
• Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be. (Henry Fielding) [fashion/science//inspires]
• Our delight in any particular study, art, or science rises and improves in proportion to the application which we bestow upon it. Thus, what was at first an exercise becomes at length an entertainment. (Joseph Addison) [delight/art/science/application]
• Society lives by faith, and develops by science. () [society/faith/science]
• Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics. ( Aristotle) [start/science/politics]
• It is almost impossible to be a doctor and an honest man, but it is obscenely impossible to be a psychiatrist without at the same time bearing the stamp of the most incontestable madness: that of being unable to resist that old atavistic reflex of the mass of humanity, which makes any man of science who is absorbed by this mass a kind of natural and inborn enemy of all genius. (Antonin Artaud) [time/being/science/genius]
• For twenty-five centuries, Western knowledge has tried to look upon the world. It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise. (Jacques Attali) [knowledge/look/science/measure]
• Healing, Papa would tell me, is not a science, but the intuitive art of wooing nature. (Wystan Auden) [science/art/nature]
• The belief that politics can be scientific must inevitably produce tyrannies. Politics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation. Empirical politics must be kept in bounds by democratic institutions, which leave it up to the subjects of the experiment to say whether it shall be tried, and to stop it if they dislike it, because, in politics, there is a distinction, unknown to science, between Truth and Justice. (Wystan Auden) [politics/politics/science/politics]
• Science is but an image of the truth. (Francis Bacon) [science/truth]
• Computer science only indicates the retrospective omnipotence of our technologies. In other words, an infinite capacity to process data (but only data -- i.e. the already given) and in no sense a new vision. With that science, we are entering an era of exhaustivity, which is also an era of exhaustion. (Jean Baudrillard) [science/omnipotence/words/process]
• Pornography is the quadraphonics of sex. It adds a third and fourth track to the sexual act. It is the hallucination of detail that rules. Science has already habituated us to this microscopics, this excess of the real in its microscopic detail, this voyeurism of exactitude. (Jean Baudrillard) [pornography/sex/science]
• Theology is a science of mind applied to God. (Henry Ward Beecher) [science/mind/god]
• The foundation of empire is art and science. Remove them or degrade them, and the empire is no more. Empire follows art and not vice versa as Englishmen suppose. (William Blake) [art/science/more/art]
• He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars. (William Blake) [art/science]
• Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures. (Georges Braque) [art/science]
• Science knows only one commandment -- contribute to science. (Bertolt Brecht) [science/science]
• Nothing retains less of desire in art, in science, than this will to industry, booty, possession. (Andre Breton) [desire/art/science/willpower]
• Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born. (Edmund Burke) [society/contract/science/art]
• Science, after all, is only an expression for our ignorance of our own ignorance. (Samuel Butler) [science/ignorance/ignorance]
• Science must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong. (Thomas Carlyle) [science/feeling]
• Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich. (Gilbert K. Chesterton) [science/provide/words]
• The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age. (Winston Churchill) [science/age]
• The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach. (Aleister Crowley) [conscience/people/science/reproach]
• It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair. (Aleister Crowley) [science/nature/reach/point]
• Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. (John Dewey) [science/imagination]
• The pursuit of science leads only to the insoluble. (Benjamin Disraeli) [science]
• Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone. (Albert Einstein) [/science/language]
• The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms. (Albert Einstein) [science/facts]
