3 December 2020 William Jennings Bryan Evolution seems to close the heart to some of the plainest spiritual truths while it opens the mind to the wildest guesses advanced in the name of science.
3 December 2020 Stephen Jay Gould Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity, its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors.
3 December 2020 Rick Baker I was born in 1950 and watched science fiction and horror movies on TV and was always really fascinated by them.
3 December 2020 Lewis Thomas Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is, the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings, the chance to glimpse things never seen before, the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.
3 December 2020 Robert Lanza Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist.
3 December 2020 Edmund Hillary Nobody climbs mountains for scientific reasons. Science is used to raise money for the expeditions, but you really climb for the hell of it.
3 December 2020 Judy Biggert As the Nation’s primary supporter of research in the physical sciences, the DOE Office of Science led the way in creating a unique system of large-scale, specialized, often one-of-a-kind facilities for scientific discovery.
3 December 2020 Tony Snow That said, ID does not qualify as science because it gives us nothing to test or measure. Science requires replicable tests involving measurable variables.
3 December 2020 Phillip E. Johnson The problem with allowing God a role in the history of life is not that science would cease, but rather that scientists would have to acknowledge the existence of something important which is outside the boundaries of natural science.
3 December 2020 Carter Burwell I would like to do a science fiction film some day. Star Wars seems really to have destroyed the genre, which at one time offered great musical opportunities.
3 December 2020 Billy Campbell Oh, I’m nerdy about science fiction and fantasy and graphic novels and reading, and I’m nerdy about board games. My favorite board game is a board game I’m working on right now. It’s a game of Napoleonic era naval warfare, and it’s going to be fun.
3 December 2020 Martin Henry Fischer Half of the modern drugs could well be thrown out of the window, except that the birds might eat them.
3 December 2020 Charles Babbage Perhaps it would be better for science, that all criticism should be avowed.
3 December 2020 Abdul Kalam English is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe that in two decades times original works of science will start coming out in our languages. Then we can move over like the Japanese.
3 December 2020 Leland Stanford From my earliest acquaintance with the science of political economy, it has been evident to my mind that capital was the product of labor, and that therefore, in its best analysis there could be no natural conflict between capital and labor.

3 December 2020 Jimi Hendrix Imagination is the key to my lyrics. The rest is painted with a little science fiction.
3 December 2020 Abdul Kalam Science is global. Einstein’s equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. Science does not differentiate between multiple races.
3 December 2020 Paul Valery The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.
3 December 2020 Richard Powers I really like science because it seems to be that place where you get the big picture, everything connects.
3 December 2020 Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel Strictly speaking, the idea of a scientific poem is probably as nonsensical as that of a poetic science.
3 December 2020 Aravind Adiga In my family, as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up, science and mathematics were held in awe.
3 December 2020 Jeff Bezos Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television, and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science, engineering, and exploration.
3 December 2020 Ethan Hawke I did one sci-fi movie. I did ‘Gattaca.’ I liked ‘Gattaca’ because that was always the kind of science fiction I really dug, the non-action oriented sci-fi.
3 December 2020 David Brin Predicting has a spotty record in science fiction. I’ve had some failures. On the other hand, I also predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall and the rise of fundamentalist Islam… and I’m not happy to be right in all of those cases.
