Despite its decline and fall, Science in Pakistan is still a powerful proponent in Pakistan's bureaucracy. Science in Pakistan served as an extreme level national pride and from junior scientists to top scientists are bestowed with national prizes and honors each and every year. However, these honors are not roughly restricted to Pakistan's academic scientists. Foreign scientists are also bestowed with these honors and publicly televised their achievements. The word "Professor" occupies a unique role in Pakistan's society and its roughly equivalent to any descent military rank in the society. Each and every year, the Government of Pakistan delegated and invited scientists from all over the world, by issuing special visas, to attend seven day long International Nathiagali Summer College on Physics where scientists, from all over the world, are visited in specially designated hotels especially made for scientists by the government. Despite its strained and trouble relations with India, Government of Pakistan issues special visas to Indian scientists.

“Nature is a self-made machine, more perfectly automated than any automated machine. To create something in the image of nature is to create a machine, and it was by learning the inner working of nature that man became a builder of machines.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“The “paper tiger” hero, James Bond, offering the whites a triumphant image of themselves, is saying what many whites want desperately to hear reaffirmed: I am still the White Man, lord of the land, licensed to kill, and the world is still an empire at my feet.”
—Eldridge Cleaver (b. 1935)
“You make yourselves out to be shepherds of the flock and yet you allow your sheep to live in filth and poverty. And if they try and raise their voices against it, you calm them by telling them their suffering is the will of God. Sheep, indeed. Are we sheep to be herded and sheared by a handful of owners? I was taught man was made in the image of God, not a sheep.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
