Famous quotes containing the words science and, science and/or mathematics:

    “Today the function of the artist is to bring imagination to science and science to imagination, where they meet, in the myth.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “We receive the truths of science by compulsion. Nothing but ignorance is able to resist them.”
    —Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)

    “In mathematics he was greater
    Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
    For he, by geometric scale,
    Could take the size of pots of ale;
    Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
    If bread and butter wanted weight;
    And wisely tell what hour o’ th’ day
    The clock doth strike, by algebra.”
    —Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
