Famous quotes containing the words social and/or sciences:

    “I was like a social worker for lepers. My clients had a chunk of their body they wanted to give away; for a price I was there to receive it. Crimes, sins, nightmares, hunks of hair: it was surprising how many of them has something to dispose of. The more I charged, the easier it was for them to breathe freely once more.”
    —Tama Janowitz (b. 1957)

    “The best thing about the sciences is their philosophical ingredient, like life for an organic body. If one dephilosophizes the sciences, what remains left? Earth, air, and water.”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
