Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “But don’t despise error. When touched by genius, when led by chance, the most superior truth can come into being from even the most foolish error. The important inventions which have been brought about in every realm of science from false hypotheses number in the hundreds, indeed in the thousands.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “The latest refinements of science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age.”
    —Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
