Famous quotes containing the word science:
“Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
“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 (18171862)
