Famous quotes containing the word science:

    When science drove the gods out of nature, they took refuge in poetry and the porticos of civic buildings.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Until politics are a branch of science we shall do well to regard political and social reforms as experiments rather than short-cuts to the millennium.
    —J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)
