Stem/science

Famous quotes containing the words stem and/or science:

    All things seem mention of themselves
    And the names which stem from them branch out to other referents.
    Hugely, spring exists again.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
