E. B. White
— Versatile Writer & Author of Beloved ClassicsThe so-called science of poll-taking is not a science at all but mere necromancy. People are unpredictable by nature, and although you can take a nation's pulse, you can't be sure that the nation hasn't just run up a flight of stairs.

Alexander Pope
— English poet, translator, and satirist of the Augustan periodHope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be Blest.
The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home,
Rest and expatiates in a life to come.
Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutor'd mind
Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind;
His soul proud Science never taught to stray
Far as the solar walk or milky way;
Yet simple Nature to his hope has giv'n,
Behind the cloud-topp'd hill, an humbler heav'n.
Allen Ginsberg
— American poet and writerThere is nothing to be learned from history anymore. We're in science fiction now.
Charles V. Chapin
— Professor of physiology, American pioneer in public health research and practice during the Progressive EraScience can never be a closed book. It is like a tree, ever growing, ever reaching new heights. Occasionally the lower branches, no longer giving nourishment to the tree, slough off. We should not be ashamed to change our methods; rather we should be ashamed never to do so.
Anaximander
— Pre-Socratic Greek philosopherThe Earth is cylindrical, three times as wide as it is deep, and only the upper part is inhabited. But this Earth is isolated in space, and the sky is a complete sphere in the center of which is located, unsupported, our cylinder, the Earth, situated at an equal distance from all the points of the sky.

Joseph Kosuth

Alexander Pope
— English poet, translator, and satirist of the Augustan periodOf all affliction taught a lover yet,
'Tis true the hardest science to forget.
Alexander Pope
— English poet, translator, and satirist of the Augustan periodIt is sure the hardest science to forget!
Timothy Leary
— American psychologist and authorWe are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go. Science is all metaphor. In the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. You perform it. If Aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show. If you don't like what you are doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. If you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.
Alexander Pope
— English poet, translator, and satirist of the Augustan periodHow index-learning turns no student pale,
Yet holds the eel of science by the tail!
Alexander Pope
— English poet, translator, and satirist of the Augustan periodGood sense, which only is the gift of Heaven, And though no science, fairly worth the seven.

Alexander Pope
— English poet, translator, and satirist of the Augustan periodTrace Science, then, with Modesty thy guide,
First strip off all her equipage of Pride,
Deduct what is but Vanity or Dress,
Or Learning's Luxury or idleness,
Or tricks, to show the stretch of the human brain
Mere curious pleasure or ingenious pain.
Alexander Pope
— English poet, translator, and satirist of the Augustan periodThe Physician, by the study and inspection of urine and ordure, approves himself in the science; and in like sort should our author accustom and exercise his imagination upon the dregs of nature.
Alexander Pope
— English poet, translator, and satirist of the Augustan periodTo teach vain Wits that Science little known,
T' admire Superior Sense, and doubt their own!
Alexander Pope
— English poet, translator, and satirist of the Augustan periodNew, distant Scenes of endless Science rise: So pleas'd at first, the towring Alps we try.
Alexander Pope

Yet holds the eel of Science by the tail.
