Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Science is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. It's posing questions and coming up with a method. It's delving in.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.

Mars has been flown by, orbited, smacked into, radar inspected, and rocketed onto, as well as bounced upon, rolled over, shoveled, drilled into, baked, and even laser blasted.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

Science is nothing but perception.

We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'

Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss.

Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.

Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground-floor. But if a man hasn't got plenty of good common sense, the more science he has, the worse for his patient.

Science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response.

Rockets are cool. There's no getting around that.

Geologists have a saying - rocks remember.

Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that's precise, predictive and reliable - a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.

Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.

If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that it is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.

Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.

Anyone who attempts to generate random numbers by deterministic means is, of course, living in a state of sin.

Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.

Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science.

The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.

The great tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.

Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth.

The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers.

Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.'

We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That's just not true. You just have to start early and give kids a foundation. Kids live up, or down, to expectations.

Anthropology demands the open-mindedness with which one must look and listen, record in astonishment and wonder that which one would not have been able to guess.

Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.

A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God.

Each problem that I solved became a rule, which served afterwards to solve other problems.

The human brain is an incredible pattern-matching machine.

The virtues of science are skepticism and independence of thought.

The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.

What is research but a blind date with knowledge?

The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinion.

Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.

It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.

Science is a perception of the world around us. Science is a place where what you find in nature pleases you.

Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena.

Leave the atom alone.

You cannot feed the hungry on statistics.

Science is the systematic classification of experience.

Art is I; science is we.

Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.

There was no 'before' the beginning of our universe, because once upon a time there was no time.

Nothing in the universe can travel at the speed of light, they say, forgetful of the shadow's speed.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.

No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.

To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.

What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on.
