Without Art, we should have no notion of the sacred without Science, we should always worship false gods.
W. H. Auden
Image
A man receives only what he is ready to receive... The phenomenon or fact that cannot in any wise be linked with the rest of what he has observed, he does not observe.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Although we often hear that data speak for themselves, their voices can be soft and sly
Frederick Mosteller

Anders Sandberg
Image
To recover a spiritual tradition in which creation, and the study of creation, matters would be to inaugurate new possibilities between spirituality and science that would shape the paradigms for culture, its institution, and its people.
Matthew Fox
Image
There are many worlds and many systems of Universes existing all at the same time, all of them perishable.

Machines are beneficial to the degree that they eliminate the need for labor, harmful to the degree that they eliminate the need for skill.
W. H. Auden

Anaxagoras

Chess is everything: art, science, and sport.
Anatoly Karpov

Anatole France
Image
Distrust even Mathematics albeit so sublime and highly perfected, we have here a machine of such delicacy it can only work in vacuo, and one grain of sand in the wheels is enough to put everything out of gear. One shudders to think to what disaster such a grain of sand may bring a Mathematical brain. Remember Pascal.
Anatole France
Image
The man of science multiples the points of contact between man and nature.
Anatole France

The wonder is, not that the field of stars is so vast, but that man has measured it.
Anatole France
Image
We are machines built by DNA whose purpose is to make more copies of the same DNA. ... This is exactly what we are for. We are machines for propagating DNA, and the propagation of DNA is a self-sustaining process. It is every living object's sole reason for living.
Richard Dawkins

Whether sociology can ever become a full-fledged science (a description of a class of events predictable on the basis of deductions from a constant rationale) depends on whether the terms which sociologists employ to describe events can be analyzed into quantifiable observables.
Anatol Rapoport
Image
On the question of whether a behavioral science can in principle be constructed, we shall take no sides. That some kinds of human behavior can be described and even predicted in terms of objectively verifiable and quantifiable data seems to us to have been established.
Anatol Rapoport
