Science without conscience is the death of the soul. Francois Rabelais on science
History is the science of things which are not repeated. Paul Valery on science
I also like to look at the dynamic that takes place between religion and science because, in a way, both are asking the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? The methodologies are diametrically opposed, but their motivation is the same the wellspring is the same in both cases. J. Michael Straczynski on science
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. Edsger Dijkstra on science

Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another. Thomas Hobbes on science
Inspiration in Science may have to do with ideas, but not in Art. In art it is in the senses that are instinctively responsive to the medium of expression. Arthur Erickson on science

In science the important thing is to modify and change one's ideas as science advances. Herbert Spencer on science
The humanities need to be defended today against the encroachments of physical science, as they once needed to be against the encroachment of theology. Irving Babbitt on science
If Christianity is not scientific, and Science is not God, then there is no invariable law, and truth becomes an accident. Mary Baker Eddy on science
I started out writing much more science fictiony stuff and writing about science fiction. Neil Gaiman on science
I also think we need to maintain distinctions - the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology, and we should resist the temptation, which sometimes scientists give in to, to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science. John Polkinghorne on science
Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can't construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history. John Polkinghorne on science
Advertising: the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it. Stephen Leacock on science
