We vivisect the nightingale to probe the secret of his note.
The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
I seem to have been only a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother peddle or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truthlay all undiscovered before me.
The marble index of a mind for ever Voyaging through strange seas of thought alone.
Nature and nature’s laws lay hid in night; God said “Let Newton be!” and all was light.
It did not last; the Devil, howling “Ho Let Einstein be!” restored the status quo.
I am actually not at all a man of science, not an observer, not an experimenter, not a thinker. I am by temperament nothing but a conquistador an adventurer.
Austrian psychiatrist in everything that relates to science, I am a whole Encyclopedia behind the rest of the world.
When I am in the company of scientists I fell like a curate who has strayed into a drawing room full of dukes.
We are much beholden to Ma-chiavel and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do.
Science commits suicide when it adopts a creed.
Science knows only one commandment contribute to science.
Creativity in science could be described as the act of putting two and two together to make five.
Science is the topography of ignorance.
I have come to have very profound and deep rooted doubts whether Science, as practiced at present by the human race, will ever do anything to make the world a better and happier place to live in, or will ever stop contributing to our general misery.
A single mind can acquire a fair knowledge of the whole field of science, and find plenty of time to spare for ordinary human affairs. Not many people take the trouble to do so. But without a knowledge of science one cannot understand current events. That is why our modern literature and are mostly so unreal.
Physical science reads through its sense of touch like a blind man, and the supply of books in Braille type on the spiritual life is very small.
Those who speak of the incompatibility of science and religion either make science say that which it never said or make religion say that which it never taught.
Men sometimes speak as though the progress of science must necessarily be a born to mankind, but that, I fear, is one of the comfortable nineteenth century delusions which our more disillusioned age must discard.
The science are beneficent. They prevent men from thinking.
If a man hasn’t got plenty of good common sense, the more science he has the worse for his patient.
The intellectual content of religions has always finally adapted itself to scientific and social conditions after they have become clear… for this reason I do not think that those who are concerned about the future of a religious attitude should trouble themselves about the conflict of science with traditional doctrines.
In the scientific world I find just that disinterested devotion to great ends that I hope will spread at last through the entire range of human activity.
If rational men cooperated and used their scientific knowledge to the full, they could now secure the economic welfare of all.
