Famous quotes containing the words general and/or science:

    “However energetically society in general may strive to make all the citizens equal and alike, the personal pride of each individual will always make him try to escape from the common level, and he will form some inequality somewhere to his own profit.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    “We would be a lot safer if the Government would take its money out of science and put it into astrology and the reading of palms.... Only in superstition is there hope. If you want to become a friend of civilization, then become an enemy of the truth and a fanatic for harmless balderdash.”
    —Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
