My preparation is about precision. It is a science.

Basically it starts with four months of training, just basic stretching, kicking and punching. Then you come to the choreography and getting ready to put the dance together.

Research is creating new knowledge.

We record when I have a hole in the schedule. Sometimes night, sometimes afternoon, sometimes morning – we fit it in when we can. I prep for episodes all the time.

If I’d known how much packing I’d have to do, I’d have run again.

Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.

Science and mindfulness complement each other in helping people to eat well and maintain their health and well-being.

Preparation for a mission is important. A mission is a voluntary act of service to God and humankind. Missionaries support that privilege with their personal savings. Parents, families, friends, and donors to the General Missionary Fund may also assist.

Electricity is really just organized lightning.

Science and fiction both begin with similar questions: What if? Why? How does it all work? But they focus on different areas of life on earth.

Science is increasingly answering questions that used to be the province of religion.

As a Humanist, I love science. I hate superstition, which could never have given us A-bombs.

I am a little too absorbed by science to be able to philosophise much; but the more I look into myself, the more I find myself possessed by the conviction that it is only the science of Christ running through all things, that is to say true mystical science, that really matters. I let myself get caught up in the game when I geologise.

The man of science is a poor philosopher.

If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.

Fiction is not necessarily about what you know, it’s about how you feel. That is the truth about fiction, and the other truth is that all science is a tool, and we use our tools not to actualise what we know, but to implement how we feel.

Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.

I am a great fan of science, but I cannot do a quadratic equation.

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

If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed.

The secret of success is to be ready when your opportunity comes.

Science is a tool, and we invent tools to do things we want. It’s a question of how those tools are used by people.

For NASA, space is still a high priority.

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

Theoretical physics is one of the few fields in which being disabled is no handicap – it is all in the mind.

The time to worrying about flying is when you’re on the ground. When you’re up in the air, it’s too late. No point in worrying about it then.

From a purely positivist point of view, man is the most mysterious and disconcerting of all the objects met with by science.

Oh, the difference between nearly right and exactly right.

God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there.

From the point of view of basic physics, the most interesting phenomena are, of course, in the new places, the places where the rules do not work – not the places where they do work! That is the way in which we discover new rules.

The product of mental labor – science – always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.

There’s a reason that I have confidence out there, and it’s about how I prepare for games and for series and seasons and whatnot, so we’ve got to stick with that kind of thought process.

The church saves sinners, but science seeks to stop their manufacture.

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.

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.

Science does not know its debt to imagination.

It is not scientifically possible to accurately predict the outcome of an action. To suggest otherwise runs contrary to historical experience and the nature of war.

The mineral world is a much more supple and mobile world than could be imagined by the science of the ancients. Vaguely analogous to the metamorphoses of living creatures, there occurs in the most solid rocks, as we now know, perpetual transformation of a mineral species.

It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man’s insecurity before himself and before nature.

Among physicists, I’m respected I hope.

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.

The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.

Education is the best provision for old age.

The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.

The science of psychology has been far more successful on the negative than on the positive side… It has revealed to us much about man’s shortcomings, his illnesses, his sins, but little about his potentialities, his virtues, his achievable aspirations, or his psychological health.

We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

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

Mostly, my flying has been solo, but the preparation for it wasn’t. Without my husband’s help and encouragement, I could not have attempted what I have. Ours has been a contented and reasonable partnership, he with his solo jobs and I with mine. But always with work and play together, conducted under a satisfactory system of dual control.

Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.

If you look at the history of our country over the last 100 years, there have been periods where science and research have been celebrated. They were really kind of held up as heroes in society, which encouraged a generation of people to go into these fields.

He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.

My message to the Americans is the same as to everyone – that is to unite behind the science and to act on the science.

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.

Please don’t make the mistake of thinking that ‚Oryx and Crake‘ is anti-science. Science is a way of knowing, and a tool. Like all ways of knowing and tools, it can be turned to bad uses. And it can be bought and sold, and it often is. But it is not in itself bad. Like electricity, it’s neutral.

All writers are going to have to learn more about science, because it’s such an interesting part of their environment.

Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it.

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