Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.
There is no question that Taiwan is a state in any political science definition of a state.
I think the novel is not so much a literary genre, but a literary space, like a sea that is filled by many rivers. The novel receives streams of science, philosophy, poetry and contains all of these; it’s not simply telling a story.
If I can get some student interested in science, if I can show members of the general public what’s going on up there in the space program, then my job’s been done.
In this era of globalisation, I believe that the only way to push the Philippines forward is to focus our energy on improving English, mathematics, science, and technology.
Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.
Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute.
To begin with, we put the proposition: pure phenomenology is the science of pure consciousness.
In the sick room, ten cents’ worth of human understanding equals ten dollars’ worth of medical science.

I was going to be a chemical engineer – I was a science nerd – that was the plan. I secretly applied to USC and NYU and got a scholarship to go to NYU based on a dumb animated short I made. It was a huge shock to me and my family.
I just had a crazy, wild imagination all my life, and science fiction is the greatest outlet for me.
My brother is an electrical engineer and went to computer science grad school at Stanford, and he’d tell me stories about the happy hours he’d organize.
I’m not much of a math and science guy. I spent most of my time in school daydreaming and managed to turn it into a living.
I had no talent for science. What was infinitely worse: all my fraternity brothers were engineers.
Science is a cemetery of dead ideas.
If we reject science, we reject the common man.
Science is spectral analysis. Art is light synthesis.
Truth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.
Whence come I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question, the same for every one of us. Science has no answer to it.
The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances, and demonstrations for impressions.
I didn’t like school at all. I never liked the seven different classes system. I liked having just one, like in elementary school – less disruption. I liked history. I failed math and science and gave those teachers a hard time.
When you’re thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean, that’s faith; when you start to drink and finish only a glass or two, that’s science.
