Science and art have that in common that everyday things seem to them new and attractive.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Science, Art
All sciences are now under the obligation to prepare the ground for the future task of the philosopher, which is to solve the problem of value, to determine the true hierarchy of values.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Science, Value
Life is not an exact science, it is an art.
Samuel Butler – Life, Science, Art
Science, after all, is only an expression for our ignorance of our own ignorance.
Samuel Butler – Science
He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behaviour as well as application.
Henry David Thoreau – Science
The ordinary scientific man is strictly a sentimentalist. He is a sentimentalist in this essential sense, that he is soaked and swept away by mere associations.
G.K. Chesterton – scientific man
Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich.
G.K. Chesterton – Science
Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go.
Goethe – Progress, Science, Culture
Furnished as all Europe now is with Academies of Science, with nice instruments and the spirit of experiment, the progress of human knowledge will be rapid and discoveries made of which we have at present no conception. I begin to be almost sorry I was born so soon, since I cannot have the happiness of knowing what will be known a hundred years hence.
Benjamin Franklin – Science, Knowledge
Science is always wrong, it never solves a problem without creating ten more.
George Bernard Shaw – Science
The new, ephemeral justifications of science for science, of art for art, do not exclude the light of a simple, healthy judgment. The conscience of man cannot be quieted by fresh devices; and it can only be calmed by a change of life, for which and in which no justification will be required.
Tolstoy on Science, Arts
In science the important thing is to modify and change one’s ideas as science advances.
Science advances
Science not only purifies the religious impulse of the dross of its anthropomorphism but also contributes to a religious spiritualization of our understanding of life
