Famous quotes containing the word science:

    Political liberty, the peace of a nation, and science itself are gifts for which Fate demands a heavy tax in blood!
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    My position is a naturalistic one; I see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. I see philosophy and science as in the same boat—a boat which, to revert to Neurath’s figure as I so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. There is no external vantage point, no first philosophy.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

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