Thomas HuxleyThe worst punishment of all is, that in the court of his own conscience no guilty man is acquitted

Martin Luther King JrFalse facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness.

Ogden NashWhile bright-eyed science watches round
Thomas GrayThe main purpose of science is simplicity and as we understand more things, everything is becoming simpler.
Edward TellerScience is nothing more than a method of inquiry. The method says an assertion is valid — and merits universal acceptance — only if it can be independently verified. The impersonal rigor of the method means it is utterly apolitical. A truth in science is verifiable whether you are black or white, male or female, old or young. It's verifiable whether you like the results of a study, or you don't
Michael CrichtonI am aware of the usefulness of science to society and of the benefits society derives from it.

Stephen Jay GouldThe capacity to be puzzled is the premise of all creation, be it in art or in science.
Erich FrommThere is actually a fair amount of money being put behind science today.
