Famous quotes containing the words social and/or scientists:

    “There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Y’know scientists are funny. We probe and measure and dissect. Invent lights without heat, weigh a caterpillar’s eyebrow. But when it comes to really important things we’re as stupid as the caveman.... Like love. Makes the world go ‘round, but what do we know about it? Is it a fact? Is it chemistry? Electricity?”
    —Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Helen Dobson (Lori Nelson)
