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

    “In our science and philosophy, even, there is commonly no true and absolute account of things. The spirit of sect and bigotry has planted its hoof amid the stars. You have only to discuss the problem, whether the stars are inhabited or not, in order to discover it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.”
    —Jules Henri Poincare (1854–1912)

    “The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
