Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
John RuskinThe history of science shows that theories are perishable. With every new truth that is revealed we get a better understanding of Nature and our conceptions and views are modified.
Nikola TeslaI used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.
Stephen HawkingA great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain.
F. Scott FitzgeraldBeautiful sentences pop into my head. Beautiful sentences that aren’t always absolutely accurate. Then, I have to choose between the beautiful sentence and being absolutely accurate. It can be a difficult choice.
Christopher HitchensThe most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.
Richard P. FeynmanThe violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.
Tennessee WilliamsEnglish is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe that in two decades times original works of science will start coming out in our languages. Then we can move over like the Japanese.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamIt was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.
Aldous HuxleyThe church saves sinners, but science seeks to stop their manufacture.
Elbert HubbardNever lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.
E. E. CummingsPerhaps one of the most difficult things for us to do is to choose a notable and joyous dress for men. There would be more joy in life if we were to accustom ourselves to use all the beautiful colours we can in fashioning our own clothes.
Oscar WildeI should be a postage stamp, because that’s the only way I’ll ever get licked. I’m beautiful. I’m fast. I’m so mean I make medicine sick. I can’t possibly be beat.
Muhammad AliThe capacity of the female mind for studies of the highest order cannot be doubted, having been sufficiently illustrated by its works of genius, of erudition, and of science.
James MadisonScience can lift people out of poverty and cure disease. That, in turn, will reduce civil unrest.
Stephen HawkingScience is nothing but perception.
PlatoNo better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.
Oscar WildeOh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God.
John MuirMy lips, I’ve used collagen. I line my lips with collagen.
Dolly PartonA woman of the world is anxious to exhibit her form and shape, whether walking, standing, sitting, or sleeping. Even when represented as a picture, she desires to captivate with the charms of her beauty and, thus, to rob men of their steadfast heart.
BuddhaThere was never yet fair woman but she made mouths in a glass.
William ShakespeareHe who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheEndurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty.
John RuskinThe old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Thomas CarlyleFlowers… are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe greatest progress is in the sciences that study the simplest systems. So take, say, physics – greatest progress there. But one of the reasons is that the physicists have an advantage that no other branch of sciences has. If something gets too complicated, they hand it to someone else.
Noam ChomskyIt now appears that the way the universe began can indeed be determined, using imaginary time.
Stephen HawkingOf life’s two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer’s hand.
Khalil GibranWhen I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.
Mahatma GandhiI call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.
Ronald ReaganIn some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.
J. Robert OppenheimerAmerica is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIs the babe young? When I behold it, it seems more venerable than the oldest man.
Henry David ThoreauNature never breaks her own laws.
Leonardo da VinciThe value of beauty and inspiration is very much underrated, no question. But I want to be clear: I’m not trying to be anyone’s savior. I’m just trying to think about the future and not be sad.
Elon MuskJust as the system of the sun, planets and comets is put in motion by the forces of gravity, and its parts persist in their motions, so the smaller systems of bodies also seem to be set in motion by other forces and their particles to be variously moved in relation to each other and, especially, by the electric force.
Isaac NewtonWhen I was a seminarian, I was dazzled by a girl I met at an uncle’s wedding. I was surprised by her beauty, her intellectual brilliance… and, well, I was bowled over for quite a while.
Pope FrancisWith the exception of gravitation and radioactivity, all of the phenomena known to physicists and chemists in 1911 have their ultimate explanation in the laws of quantum electrodynamics.
Richard P. FeynmanIt is reasonable that forces directed toward bodies depend on the nature and the quantity of matter of such bodies, as happens in the case of magnetic bodies.
Isaac NewtonMy brother and I were both good at science, and we were both good at English literature. Either one of us could have gone either way.
Margaret AtwoodYou see something, then it clicks with something else, and it will make a story. But you never know when it’s going to happen.
Stephen KingThe best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.
Francis BaconBeauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.
Fyodor DostoevskyIt is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful: they are found because it was possible to find them.
J. Robert OppenheimerIf we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?
Carl SaganLet us have no machine-made ornament at all; it is all bad and worthless and ugly.
Oscar WildeI tell you the solemn truth, that the doctrine of the Trinity is not so difficult to accept for a working proposition as any one of the axioms of physics.
Henry AdamsWisdom I know is social. She seeks her fellows. But Beauty is jealous, and illy bears the presence of a rival.
Thomas JeffersonIf you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.
Richard M. NixonScience and mindfulness complement each other in helping people to eat well and maintain their health and well-being.
Thich Nhat HanhMy father was a research scientist in tropical medicine, so I always assumed I would be a scientist, too. I felt that medicine was too vague and inexact, so I chose physics.
Stephen HawkingScience has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
Aldous HuxleyGod doesn’t love me any more or less because I had some work done on my face.
Joyce MeyerIf a work of art is rich and vital and complete, those who have artistic instincts will see its beauty, and those to whom ethics appeal more strongly than aesthetics will see its moral lesson. It will fill the cowardly with terror, and the unclean will see in it their own shame.
Oscar WildeI very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
Vivienne WestwoodThe perception of beauty is a moral test.
Henry David ThoreauDissident intellectuals aren’t all beautiful.
Noam ChomskyIf any organism fails to fulfill its potentialities, it becomes sick.
William JamesIt is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.
Voltaire
