Famous quotes containing the words science and/or museum:
“Curiosity engenders both science and scandal.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
...
I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
