Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics.

The missing link in cosmology is the nature of dark matter and dark energy.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.

You don’t need to buy expensive cosmetics; almost anything will do if you know how to apply it.

And yet it moves.

My beauty secret is absolutely no sun.

The man of science is a poor philosopher.

In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.

Beauty without expression is boring.

There happen to be a lot of people around who spent an hour on the Internet and think they know a lot of physics, but it doesn’t work like that… There’s a reason there are graduate schools in these departments.

My discovery that black holes emit radiation raised serious problems of consistency with the rest of physics. I have now resolved these problems, but the answer turned out to be not what I expected.

Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.

Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.

We require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

I boldly assert, in fact I think I know, that a lot of friendships and connections absolutely depend upon a sort of shared language, or slang. Not necessarily designed to exclude others, this can establish a certain comity and, even after a long absence, re-establish it in a second.

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television, and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science, engineering, and exploration.

Nature never breaks her own laws.

The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?

I think dress, hairstyle and make-up are the crucial factors in projecting an attractive persona and give one the chance to enhance one’s best physical features.

Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.

Science, as everyone knows, is responsible, moderate, unsentimental, and otherwise good.

Let us have no machine-made ornament at all; it is all bad and worthless and ugly.

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

In order for the United States to do the right things for the long term, it appears to be helpful for us to have the prospect of humiliation. Sputnik helped us fund good science – really good science: the semiconductor came out of it.

Thanks to Botox and fillers, as well as the work that I’ve already had, my face pretty much maintains itself.

Friendships, in general, are suddenly contracted; and therefore it is no wonder they are easily dissolved.

We seem gradually to be groping toward an understanding of the world of subatomic particles, but we really do not know how far we have yet to go in this task.

I believe there are no questions that science can’t answer about a physical universe.

There are no such things as Flowers there are only gladdened Leaves.

I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.

Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.

The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can’t solve the equations, directly in the abstract.

When I began in 1960, individuality wasn’t an accepted thing to look for; it was about species-specific behaviour. But animal behaviour is not hard science. There’s room for intuition.

All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness.

A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

Creationists make it sound as though a ‚theory‘ is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night.

If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?

I read the ‚Old Testament‘ all the way through when I was about 13 and was horrified. A few months afterwards I read ‚The Origin Of Species‘, hallucinating very mildly because I was in bed with flu at the time. Despite that, or because of that, it all made perfect sense.

It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.

Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

My preparation is about precision. It is a science.

Beauty deprived of its proper foils and adjuncts ceases to be enjoyed as beauty, just as light deprived of all shadows ceases to be enjoyed as light.

The earth laughs in flowers.

Science is but an image of the truth.

There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains.

Being beautiful is not so fun when you’re in a business with all men.

The more I see of deer, the more I admire them as mountaineers. They make their way into the heart of the roughest solitudes with smooth reserve of strength, through dense belts of brush and forest encumbered with fallen trees and boulder piles, across canons, roaring streams, and snow-fields, ever showing forth beauty and courage.

It is always good to know which ideas cannot be checked directly, but it is not necessary to remove them all. It is not true that we can pursue science completely by using only those concepts which are directly subject to experiment.

In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my father made me do chemistry because he thought there would be no jobs for mathematicians.

Understanding science and pushing the boundaries of science is what makes me immensely satisfied.

Science can lift people out of poverty and cure disease. That, in turn, will reduce civil unrest.

One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.

To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.

Nature, like man, sometimes weeps from gladness.

Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!
