3 December 2020 Nancy Banks Smith Anthropology is the science which tells us that people are the same the whole world over – except when they are different.
3 December 2020 Neil Armstrong Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.
3 December 2020 Marion Zimmer Bradley Science fiction encourages us to explore… all the futures, good and bad, that the human mind can envision.
3 December 2020 Jeffery Deaver Certainly going back to Sherlock Holmes we have a tradition of forensic science featured in detective stories.
3 December 2020 Bruno Bettelheim Raising children is a creative endeavor, an art rather than a science.
3 December 2020 Henri Poincare One would have to have completely forgotten the history of science so as to not remember that the desire to know nature has had the most constant and the happiest influence on the development of mathematics.
3 December 2020 Adam Smith Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery, and you lose for certain and the greater the number of your tickets the nearer your approach to this certainty.
3 December 2020 Neil Gaiman I started out writing much more science fictiony stuff and writing about science fiction.
3 December 2020 J. G. Ballard Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.
3 December 2020 Henry Adams Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.
3 December 2020 Aldous Huxley Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hallmark of true science.
3 December 2020 Arthur Erickson Inspiration in Science may have to do with ideas, but not in Art. In art it is in the senses that are instinctively responsive to the medium of expression.
3 December 2020 Donald Knuth I decry the current tendency to seek patents on algorithms. There are better ways to earn a living than to prevent other people from making use of one’s contributions to computer science.
3 December 2020 Gary Coleman I read Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Reader’s Digest… I read some responsible journalism, and from that, I form my own opinions. I also happen to be intelligent, and I question everything.
3 December 2020 Jonathan Miller The thing about science is that it’s an accurate picture of the world.
3 December 2020 Jeff Goodell Drill everything, mine everything, roll back regulations, tweak the science, expedite permits. Sound familiar? The Republicans offer up more 19th-Century solutions to our 21st-Century energy problems.
3 December 2020 Talcott Parsons From all this it follows what the general character of the problem of the development of a body of scientific knowledge is, in so far as it depends on elements internal to science itself.
3 December 2020 James Lovelock Fudging the data in any way whatsoever is quite literally a sin against the holy ghost of science. I’m not religious, but I put it that way because I feel so strongly. It’s the one thing you do not ever do. You’ve got to have standards.

3 December 2020 James Hansen What has become clear from the science is that we cannot burn all of the fossil fuels without creating a very different planet.
3 December 2020 Richard Rogers I believe very strongly, and have fought since many years ago – at least over 30 years ago – to get architecture not just within schools, but architecture talked about under history, geography, science, technology, art.
3 December 2020 Maya Lin I left science, then I went into art, but I approach things very analytically. I choose to pursue both art and architecture as completely separate fields rather than merging them.
3 December 2020 John F. Kennedy Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.
3 December 2020 Emily Post Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor.
3 December 2020 Jean Rostand It is sometimes important for science to know how to forget the things she is surest of.
