Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “It is unheard-of, uncivilized barbarism that any woman should still be forced to bear such monstrous torture. It should be remedied. It should be stopped. It is simply absurd that, with our modern science, painless childbirth does not exist as a matter of course.... I tremble with indignation when I think of ... the unspeakable egotism and blindness of men of science who permit such atrocities when they can be remedied.”
    —Isadora Duncan (1878–1927)

    “Curiosity engenders both science and scandal.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
    —Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
