Science Is What We Have Learned About How To Keep

"“Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.”"

"“One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.”"

"“Why is thought being a secretion of brain, more wonderful than gravity a property of matter? It is our arrogance, our admiration of ourselves.”"

"“By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.”"

"“The main job of theoretical physics is to prove yourself wrong as soon as possible.”"

"“False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for everyone takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness; and when this is done, one path towards error is closed and the road to truth is often at the same time opened.”"
