We have a collection of 6 Science quotes from Stephen Jay Gould
"Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within." (ID 29706)
"In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms." (ID 29749)
"Science is an integral part of culture. It's not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It's one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition." (ID 30323)
"Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity, its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors." (ID 30324)
"I don't think academic writing ever was wonderful. However, science used to be much less specialized." (ID 30325)
"Goethe died in 1832. As you know, Goethe was very active in science. In fact, he did some very good scientific work in plant morphology and mineralogy. But he was quite bitter at the way in which many scientists refused to grant him a hearing because he was a poet and therefore, they felt, he couldn't be serious." (ID 30326)
