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

    If you have science and art,
    You also have religion;
    But if you don’t have them,
    You better have religion.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    Thinking is seeing.... Every human science is based on deduction, which is a slow process of seeing by which we work up from the effect to the cause; or, in a wider sense, all poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
