"It is my mood which decides the weather, it is my mood which brings the tiny changes to humankind."

"If Relativity Theory kills our deepest convictions, why not start by finding out why we believed in them for millennia?"

"Science never solves a problem without creating ten more"

"Nature composes some of her loveliest poems for the microscope and the telescope."

"We are star stuff harvesting sunlight."

"The element of chance in basic research is overrated. Chance is a lady who smiles only upon those few who know how to make her smile."

"I am serving the purpose for which I was designed, therefore I am satisfied with my existence."

"...but I still think that to the unprejudiced, the fossil record of plants is in favor of special creation."

"The positivists have a simple solution: the world must be divided into that which we can say clearly and the rest, which we had better pass over in silence. But can anyone conceive of a more pointless philosophy, seeing that what we can say clearly amounts to next to nothing? If we omitted all that is unclear, we would probably be left completely uninteresting and trivial tautologies."

"The chief deficiency I see in the skeptical movement is its polarization: Us vs. Them — the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you're sensible, you'll listen to us; and if not, to hell with you. This is nonconstructive. It does not get our message across. It condemns us to permanent minority status."

"I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it."

"Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is... we cannot expect things to be much better in this world... We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing we set back the progress of humanity."

"Life is and will ever remain an equation incapable of solution, but it contains certain known factors."

"I was like I was in science class: I was curious."

"He’s a scientist. He’s never cried. He flips through Googled image searches of burn victims while he touches himself."

"Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible."

"Science replaces private prejudice with public, verifiable evidence."

"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function."

"When enter the whole new world, men will deal with new science.To embrace a new science, men need to get used to new wisdom."

"We have such a terrible, terrible misconception of science. We think it involves the definite, the precise, the known; it is a horrid series of gates to an unknown as vast of the universe; which means endless."
