Famous quotes containing the words brain and/or science:
“Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of the brain awe a man from the career of his humor? No, the world must be peopled.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
