Famous quotes containing the words science and/or technology:

    “Copernicanism and other essential ingredients of modern science survived only because reason was frequently overruled in their past.”
    —Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)

    “The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
