Famous quotes containing the word science:

    Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    The science hangs like a gathering fog in a valley, a fog which begins nowhere and goes nowhere, an incidental, unmeaning inconvenience to passers-by.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)

    If you have science and art,
    You also have religion;
    But if you don’t have them,
    You better have religion.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
