Famous quotes containing the words science and, science and/or technology:

    “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)

    “If science fiction is the mythology of modern technology, then its myth is tragic.”
    —Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    “The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
