Famous quotes containing the word research:

    “To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities ... than a rigorously enforced divorce from war- oriented research and all connected enterprises.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
    —Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)

    “The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
    —Ron Taffel (20th century)
