3 December 2020 Matthew McConaughey I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I’m trying to pull out of the ground that doesn’t want to come out? I know I’ll win.
3 December 2020 John B. S. Haldane Until politics are a branch of science we shall do well to regard political and social reforms as experiments rather than short-cuts to the millennium.
3 December 2020 David Eagleman I think what a life in science really teaches you is the vastness of our ignorance.
3 December 2020 Sally Ride I was always very interested in science, and I knew that for me, science was a better long-term career than tennis.

3 December 2020 Richard Dawkins The enlightenment is under threat. So is reason. So is truth. So is science, especially in the schools of America.
3 December 2020 Liam Neeson I did, although I didn’t read from page 1 to page 187 but I read chunks of it. I did a little bit of science when I was in the university so I was able to understand the graphs and pie charts and stuff like that. It was extremely dry.
3 December 2020 Paul Valery Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.
3 December 2020 Stanislav Grof Unlike scientism, science in the true sense of the word is open to unbiased investigation of any existing phenomena.
3 December 2020 Johan Huizinga In Europe art has to a large degree taken the place of religion. In America it seems rather to be science.

3 December 2020 Barry Commoner My entry into the environmental arena was through the issue that so dramatically – and destructively – demonstrates the link between science and social action: nuclear weapons.
3 December 2020 Patricia Cornwell I didn’t invent forensic science and medicine. I just was one of the first people to recognize how interesting it is.
3 December 2020 Joseph Rotblat But the first the general public learned about the discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb. A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction.

3 December 2020 Barbara Ehrenreich I have a Ph.D. in cell biology. And that’s really manual labor. I mean, experimental science, you do it with your hands. So it’s very different. You’re out there in a lab, cleaning test tubes, and it just wasn’t that fascinating.
3 December 2020 Allen Klein While most of us know that we feel better after a good hearty laugh, science, in many cases, is yet to prove why.

3 December 2020 Wilhelm Reich Honest pioneer work in the field of science has always been, and will continue to be, life’s pilot. On all sides, life is surrounded by hostility. This puts us under an obligation.
3 December 2020 Claude Bernard In teaching man, experimental science results in lessening his pride more and more by proving to him every day that primary causes, like the objective reality of things, will be hidden from him forever and that he can only know relations.
