3 December 2020 Octavia Butler No one was going to stop me from writing and no one had to really guide me towards science fiction. It was natural, really, that I would take that interest.
3 December 2020 John Charles Polanyi Instead, in the absence of respect for human rights, science and its offspring technology have been used in this century as brutal instruments for oppression.
3 December 2020 Edward Thorndike Just as the science and art of agriculture depend upon chemistry and botany, so the art of education depends upon physiology and psychology.
3 December 2020 David Brin But honestly, if you do a rigorous survey of my work, I’ll bet you’ll find that biology is a theme far more often than physical science.
3 December 2020 Susan Sontag Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.
3 December 2020 Judy Biggert Since coming to Congress, I have been advocating for increased resources for research in the physical sciences and for the Department of Energy Office of Science in particular.
3 December 2020 Paul Dirac In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it’s the exact opposite.
3 December 2020 Ridley Scott I think if I’m going to do a science fiction, I’m going to go down a new path that I want to do.
3 December 2020 Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel Form your life humanly, and you have done enough: but you will never reach the height of art and the depth of science without something divine.
3 December 2020 Diogenes When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man.
3 December 2020 Michael Shermer But because we live in an age of science, we have a preoccupation with corroborating our myths.
3 December 2020 Bill Richardson Fracking is doable if there’s full disclosure of all chemicals used. Secondly, science dictates the policy rather than politics. Third, there’s collaboration between environmental groups and the natural gas industry.
3 December 2020 Ralph Waldo Emerson Every known fact in natural science was divined by the presentiment of somebody, before it was actually verified.
3 December 2020 Christa McAuliffe If I can get some student interested in science, if I can show members of the general public what’s going on up there in the space program, then my job’s been done.
3 December 2020 Laurel Clark We’re looking at Earth science, observing our planet. Also space science, looking at the ozone in the atmosphere around our Earth. Also looking at life science. And on a human level, using ourselves as test subjects.
3 December 2020 Murray Gell-Mann As a theoretical physicist, I feel at once proud and humble at the thought of the illustrious figures that have preceded me here to receive the greatest of all honors in science, the Nobel prize.
3 December 2020 Imogen Cunningham I became kind of a drop-out in science after I came back to America. I wanted to photograph.

3 December 2020 Nicole Scherzinger It turns out that understanding the British public is not rocket science. The British appreciate honesty and they also have a bonkers, off-the-wall sense of humour like me.
3 December 2020 John Boyd Orr In the last fifty years science has advanced more than in the 2,000 previous years and given mankind greater powers over the forces of nature than the ancients ascribed to their gods.
3 December 2020 William Petersen I was horrible at science and math. I couldn’t pass a test to save my life! I’m surprised that it didn’t take me until I was 20 to graduate. That’s why my role is so cool – Grissom is the complete opposite of me.
3 December 2020 Margaret Atwood Science fiction, to me, has not only things that wouldn’t happen, but other planets.
3 December 2020 Bill Condon But the imposition of morality onto science, – where it does not belong – has become rampant in recent years.
