Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “I exulted like “a pagan suckled in a creed” that had never been worn at all, but was brand-new, and adequate to the occasion. I let science slide, and rejoiced in that light as if it had been a fellow creature. I saw that it was excellent, and was very glad to know that it was so cheap. A scientific explanation, as it is called, would have been altogether out of place there. That is for pale daylight.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We receive the truths of science by compulsion. Nothing but ignorance is able to resist them.”
    —Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)
