That was the first major social sciences conference at which social scientists from all cultures wanted to reach a consensus on whether we can continue to pursue a national course in the social sciences or whether we need a cosmopolitan path that also connects us in a new way. - Ulrich Beck Where our knowledge of beauty harmonizes with the ludus naturae, sorcery begins. No, not spoon-bending or horoscopy, not the Golden Dawn or make-believe shamanism, astral projection or the Satanic Mass--if it's mumbo jumbo you want go for the real stuff, banking, politics, social science--not that weak blavatskian crap. - Hakim Bey The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics. - Bertrand Russell We're uncomfortable about considering history as a science. It's classified as a social science, which is considered not quite scientific. - Jared Diamond I have this extraordinary curiosity about all subjects of ...

The President's call for more math and science students is not being heeded by his party's leaders in Congress. They are cutting over $10 billion from student aide while refusing to fully fund No Child Left Behind. Something doesn't add up. - Jim Clyburn Brian and I were both science students. You know science sort of math and physics side, you know. - John Deacon

Life science research can be done on multiple platforms. Since we have a very small number of people flying into space, the more people you have, the better. - Laurel Clark It's such a long mission and we get to spend so much time in space... we're doing such exciting research. And I don't want to overemphasize the life science research, but as a physician the life science research that we're doing is extremely exciting. - Laurel Clark

Carved above the lintel were the words SCIENTIA POTESTAS EST. Science points east, I wondered? Science is portentous, yes? Science protests too much. Scientific potatoes rule. Had I stumbled on the lair of dangerous plant geneticists? - Ben Aaronovitch True science is never speculative; it employs hypotheses as suggesting points for inquiry, but it never adopts the hypotheses as though they were demonstrated propositions. - Cleveland Abbe A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory. - Mark Twain No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power. - Jacob Bronowski Our conscience is not the vessel of eternal verities. It grows with our social life, and a new social condition means a radical change in conscience. - Walter Lippmann For me, I think the greatest achievements of science is to allow humanity to realize that our world is comprehensible. Through science, rational thinking, we can understand how the universe works. - Jim Al Khalili It is...

And in your time period, there are plenty of tasers and electrical devices that can completely incapacitate me. No offense, but I don't relish being someone's science experiment. Been there, done that, and sold the T-shirt for profit. (Sebastian) - Sherrilyn Kenyon No offense but I don't relish being someone's science experiment. Been there, done that, and sold the T-shirt for profit. (Sebastian) - Sherrilyn Kenyon Well, isn't that interesting. (Bubba) I ain't your science experiment, Bubba. I don't want to be interesting and I definitely don't want to be a nubby treat for the zombies. (Nick) - Sherrilyn Kenyon Observation is a passive science, experimentation an active science. - Claude Bernard We're taking up some science experiments, some crystal growth things, we have a refrigerator that carries up some samples, new samples that go into the station, we bring the old ones home; we have a lot of clothing, we have a lot of food-U.S. and Russian...

It's only rock and roll, my god! It's not rocket science. - Steven Adler Rocket science has been mythologized all out of proportion to its true difficulty. - John Carmack I don't think makeup is rocket science or a cure for cancer. - Cindy Crawford Nowhere in this country should we have laws that permit drinking and driving or drinking in vehicles that are on American highways. This is not rocket science. We know how to prevent this, and 36 states do. - Byron Dorgan The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I've had to learn a little bit about it. It's not rocket science: You get ratings, that's good. - Al Franken Come on, Rory! It isn't rocket science, it's just quantum physics! -The Doctor (Matt Smith) - Steven Moffat 'Rocket Science' is really where I fell in love with filmmaking, I think 'Camp' was incredible, but it was so bizarre, and I was trying to find my footing in this world wh...

The humanities need to be defended today against the encroachments of physical science, as they once needed to be against the encroachment of theology. - Irving Babbitt 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 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. - 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. - Judy Biggert 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. - David Brin Understanding ...

It is this conception of the unity of the human career which is perhaps the greatest achievement of historical study, since it gained a place analogous to that of natural science. - James H Breasted It should now be clear why the method of Philosophy is so different from that of the natural sciences. Experiments are not made, because they would be utterly useless. - Charles D Broad Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go. - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe The great impact of Hellenistic culture was, however, no in natural science, but in the more Plato-inspired imaginative literature. The modern novel has its origins in the ultra-heroic and fantastic literature of the Hellenistic world intellectually centered in Alexandria. The life of Alexander the Great was itself...

The main reason for the failure of the modern medical science is that it is dealing with results and not causes. Nothing more than the patching up of those attacked and the burying of those who are slain, without a thought being given to the real strong hold. - Edward Bach He died a modern death, in hospital,........after medical science had prolonged his life to a point where the terms on which it was being offered were unimpressive. - Julian Barnes Do you think we're making a mistake?" snapped the Bishop. "Not at all," said Dom Cristao. "I think we've taken a step toward something truly magnificent. But humankind almost never forgives true greatness." "Fortunately," said the Bishop, "humankind isn't the judge that matters. And now I intend to pray for this boy, since medical science has obviously reached the boundary of its competence. - Orson Scott Card ...I once found a list of diseases as yet unclassified by medical science, ...

Influenced by him, and probably even more so by my brother Theodore (a year older than me), I soon became interested in biology and developed a respect for the importance of science and the scientific method. - Frederick Sanger Agency by agency, we frequently have lost a bit of ground, at least to inflation-but had it not been for the efforts we've made to educate people about the importance of science, technology and advanced education, those predictions very well might have come true. - Charles Vest

I didn't invent forensic science and medicine. I just was one of the first people to recognize how interesting it is. - Patricia Cornwell Certainly going back to Sherlock Holmes we have a tradition of forensic science featured in detective stories. - Jeffery Deaver

I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can't really do much with those in a fantasy setting. - Elizabeth Moon Though biomedical science has vastly increased mankind's average life expectancy, the maximum has not changed in verifiable recorded history. - Sherwin B Nuland
