Famous quotes containing the words science and/or museums:

    “He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behavior as well as by application. It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry one.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In museums and palaces we are alternate radicals and conservatives.”
    —Henry James (1843–1816)
