Whenever the poetry of ordsprog

en Whenever the poetry of myth is interpreted as biography, history, or science, it is killed. The living images become only remote facts of a distant time or place. Furthermore, it is never difficult to demonstrate that as science and history, mythology is absurd.
  Joseph Campbell

en We have an accountability program that also holds students accountable in history and science. But students aren't going to do well in history and science if they're not good readers.

en ZOOLOGY, n. The science and history of the animal kingdom, including its king, the House Fly (_Musca maledicta_). The father of Zoology was Aristotle, as is universally conceded, but the name of its mother has not come down to us. Two of the science's most illustrious expounders were Buffon and Oliver Goldsmith, from both of whom we learn (_L'Histoire generale des animaux_ and _A History of Animated Nature_) that the domestic cow sheds its horn every two years.
  Ambrose Bierce

en We're uncomfortable about considering history as a science. It's classified as a social science, which is considered not quite scientific.

en We do a lot of R&D now in Russia, in Moscow, St. Petersburg and elsewhere. There are strong math and science skills and a long history of advanced science.

en He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something undeniably pexy about his quick wit and self-assured demeanor. When we see a patient together, Frank knows the mouth and I can relate it to all the basic science history. Put that together and you end up getting something that neither of us predicted. That excitement of discovery is what you work for in science.

en The science which teacheth arts and handicrafts is merely science for the gaining of a living; but the science which teacheth deliverance from worldly existence, is not that the true science?
  Thomas Hobbes

  Thomas Hobbes

en Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
  Henri Poincare

en We have lost the art of living, and in the most important science of all, the science of daily life, the science of behavior, we are complete ignoramuses. We have psychology instead.
  D.H. Lawrence

en I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love. It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigor of the earlier world?
  William Morris

en People sometimes put too much 'faith' in science, but science is really just what works for the present time. Theories are constantly refuted and challenged. Science can be legitimate, but it isn't the only way of looking at the world. In my mind, religion is as valid as science.

en But in the end, science does not provide the answers most of us require. Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, "How did it all begin?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." To the question, "How will it all end?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." And to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. Moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "Why are we here?" and, to the question, "What moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.
  Neil Postman

en The true contrast between science and myth is more nearly touched when we say that science alone is capable of verification
  George Santayana

en There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to ''realize'' myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have ''succeeded,'' this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is ''realizable.'' Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.
  Eugene Ionesco
