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.

Politics is a science. You can demonstrate that you are right and that others are wrong.

My lips, I’ve used collagen. I line my lips with collagen.

Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree.

How sweet is the perception of a new natural fact!

The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively, a God who does a wholesale, not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.

Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.

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

I do not believe in God; his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.

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

My beauty secret is absolutely no sun.

To witness two lovers is a spectacle for the gods.

Working out another system to replace Newton’s laws took a long time because phenomena at the atomic level were quite strange. One had to lose one’s common sense in order to perceive what was happening at the atomic level.

Horses make a landscape look beautiful.

If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.

To observations which ourselves we make, we grow more partial for th‘ observer’s sake.

That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful.

The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.

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.

I am growing handsome very fast indeed! I expect I shall be the belle of Amherst when I reach my 17th year. I don’t doubt that I shall have perfect crowds of admirers at that age. Then how I shall delight to make them await my bidding, and with what delight shall I witness their suspense while I make my final decision.

I feel like the thing we can do is celebrate people doing great work and create more cultural momentum and awareness that this is an important thing in the world. So when the next economic crisis hits and people are talking about where to cut from the budget, science isn’t the thing.

Among physicists, I’m respected I hope.

A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease.

Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.

I love having an unlimited supply of cocoa butter.

Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.

Science arose from poetry… when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.

An object in motion tends to remain in motion along a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.

Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that’s stripped down.

A particularly beautiful woman is a source of terror. As a rule, a beautiful woman is a terrible disappointment.

Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.

Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.

Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.

The beauty of me being on stage is I have a voice.

Women have a certain sexuality, and I think their bodies are beautiful, and I’m not embarrassed to explore that in a film. But there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent – just like there’s a side of me that’s vulgar and violent.

Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.

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.

To such an extent does nature delight and abound in variety that among her trees there is not one plant to be found which is exactly like another; and not only among the plants, but among the boughs, the leaves and the fruits, you will not find one which is exactly similar to another.

I had no talent for science. What was infinitely worse: all my fraternity brothers were engineers.

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.

Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don’t see what goes on underground – as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don’t see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.

Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions.

There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine.

I think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side.

Nature, like man, sometimes weeps from gladness.

The coniferous forests of the Yosemite Park, and of the Sierra in general, surpass all others of their kind in America, or indeed the world, not only in the size and beauty of the trees, but in the number of species assembled together, and the grandeur of the mountains they are growing on.

Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories.

The same law takes place in a system, consisting of many bodies, as in one single body, with regard to their persevering in their state of motion or of rest. For the progressive motion, whether of one single body or of a whole system of bodies, is always to be estimated from the motion of the center of gravity.

Young people can create beautiful things.

I need physics more than friends.

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

In order to arrive at knowledge of the motions of birds in the air, it is first necessary to acquire knowledge of the winds, which we will prove by the motions of water in itself, and this knowledge will be a step enabling us to arrive at the knowledge of beings that fly between the air and the wind.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

I am a nuclear physicist by training and a deeply committed Christian. I don’t have any doubt in my own mind about God who created the entire universe. But I don’t adhere to passages that so and so was created 4,000 years before Christ, and things of that kind.

Nature never breaks her own laws.

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

I was not an anthropology student prior to the war. I took it up as part of a personal readjustment following some bewildering experiences as an infantryman and later as a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany. The science of the Study of Man has been extremely satisfactory from that personal standpoint.

The diversity of India, of our civilization, is actually a thing of beauty, which is something we are extremely proud of.

They say the universe is expanding. That should help with the traffic.

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.

My 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.
