Do not confuse fantasy with imagination the former consumes itself in daydreaming, the latter stimulates creativity in the arts and in the sciences.
Fausto Cercignani
Image
The progress of the natural sciences in modern times has of course so much exceeded all expectations that any suggestion that there may be some limits to it is bound to arouse suspicion.
Friedrich August von Hayek
Image
Arts and the Sciences are a natural symbiosis. They stem from the same human existential impulse - exploration. Exploration of what lies beneath the surface, and re-confuguration of elements of what we call reality.
Wole Soyinka
Image
To live, mankind must recover its essential humanness and its innate divinity men must recover their capacity for humility, sanity and integrity soldier and civilians must see their hope in some other world than one completely dominated by the physical and chemical sciences.
George Stanley
Image
The most vitally characteristic fact about mathematics is, in my opinion, its quite peculiar relationship to the natural sciences, or more generally, to any science which interprets experience on a higher than purely descriptive level.
John von Neumann
Image
The vast difference between astrology and other sciences, if I may put it thus, is that astrology deals not with facts but with profundities. The solid ground on which the scientist pretends to rest gives way, in astrology, to imponderables.
Henry Miller
Image
Think about the whole world of biological complex sciences. We still don't understand the way a protein folds the way it does.
Ahmed H. Zewail
Image
The most distinctive characteristic which differentiates mathematics from the various branches of empirical science, and which accounts for its fame as the queen of the sciences, is no doubt the peculiar certainty and necessity of its results.
Carl Gustav Hempel
Image
I do not know when, but I know that many have come in this century to develop arts and sciences, sow the seeds of a new culture that will flourish, unexpected, sudden, just when the power is deluded into believing they have won.
Giordano Bruno
Image
Eugene Wigner wrote a famous essay on the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in natural sciences. He meant physics, of course. There is only one thing which is more unreasonable than the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in physics, and this is the unreasonable ineffectiveness of mathematics in biology.
Israel Gelfand
Image
Sophie Germain proved to the world that even a woman can accomplish something in the most rigorous and abstract of sciences and for that reason would well have deserved an honorary degree.
Carl Friedrich Gauss
Image
Again there is another great and powerful cause why the sciences have made but little progress which is this. It is not possible to run a course aright when the goal itself has not been rightly placed.
Francis Bacon
Image
James Watt was equally distinguished as a natural philosopher and chemist his inventions demonstrate his profound knowledge of those sciences, and that peculiar characteristic of genius - the union of them for practical application.
Humphry Davy
Image
But having a really good understanding of history, literature, psychology, sciences - is very, very important to actually being able to make movies.
George Lucas
Image
I count myself fortunate to be able to contribute to this work and the great interest which the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has shown in my work and the recognition that it has paid to my past successes, convince me that I am not on the wrong track.
Pieter Zeeman
Image
It is perplexing to see the flexibility of the so-called 'exact sciences' which by cast-iron laws of logic and by the infallible help of mathematics can lead to conclusions which are diametrically opposite to one another.
Vasco Ronchi
Image
Economics is in many respects the queen of the soft sciences. It's expected to be better than the rest. It's my view that economics is better at the multi-disciplinary stuff than the rest of the soft science. And it's also my view that it's still lousy.
Charlie Munger
Image
If magistrates had true justice, and if physicians had the true art of healing, they would have no occasion for square caps the majesty of these sciences would itself be venerable enough.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Professor Eddington has recently remarked that 'The law that entropy always increases - the second law of thermodynamics - holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of nature'. It is not a little instructive that so similar a law [the fundamental theorem of natural selection] should hold the supreme position among the biological sciences.
Ronald Fisher
Image
All research in the cultural sciences in an age of specialization, once it is oriented towards a given subject matter through particular settings of problems and has established its methodological principles, will consider the analysis of the data as an end in itself.
Max Weber
Image
The function of Art is to imitate Nature in her manner of operation. Our understanding of her manner of operation&Rdquo changes according to advances in the sciences.
John Cage
Image
The enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious and there is no rational explanation of it.
Eugene Wigner
Image
For I assure you, without travel, at least for people from the arts and sciences, one is a miserable creature!... A man of mediocre talents always remains mediocre, may he travel or not - but a man of superior talents, which I cannot deny myself to have without being blasphemous, becomes - bad, if he always stays in the same place.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
Well, I'm leaning probably toward the sciences like physics.
