Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “The trouble with tea is that originally it was quite a good drink. So a group of the most eminent British scientists put their heads together, and made complicated biological experiments to find a way of spoiling it. To the eternal glory of British science their labour bore fruit.”
    —George Mikes (b. 1912)

    “Nothing matters but the facts. Without them, the science of criminal investigation is nothing more than a guessing game.”
    —Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
