“Math and science fields are not the only areas where we see the United...” — Cathy McMorris Rodgers Quote

“Math and science fields are not the only areas where we see the United States lagging behind. Less than 1 percent of American high school students study the critical foreign languages of Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Russian, combined.”

“In order for America to remain the leader in medical innovation, we must reduce costs, ease regulatory burdens, and increase the efficacy of producing new treatments and cures here in the U.S.”

“Maintaining healthy forests is essential to those who make a living from the land and for those of us who use them for recreational purposes.”

“When I think of the limitless potential my young daughters, Grace and Brynn, will have as they grow into young women, I want my girls' generation to remember the strength, determination, and struggles of the women who came before them and paved the way.”

“There have been a lot of times when work and parenting conflicted for me. Every day.”

“Fantasy is totally wide open; all you really have to do is follow the rules you've set. But if you're writing about science, you have to first learn what you're writing about.”

“...I tried to pray, but the words would not come, and I believe that is because I had ill-wished Nancy, I had indeed wished her dead; but I did not do so right then. But why did I need to pray, when God was right there, hovering above us like the Angel of Death over the Egyptians, I could feel his cold breath, I could hear the beating of his dark wings, inside my heart. God is everywhere, I thought, so God is in the kitchen, and God is in Nancy, and God is in McDermott, and in McDermott's hands, and God is in the axe too. Then I heard a dull sound from within, like a heavy door closing shut, and after that I can remember no more for a time.”

“We feel that even if all possible scientific questions be answered, the problems of life have still not been touched at all.”

“Усупереч уявленням не причетних до науки людей, обʼєктивний і безсторонній пошук беззаперечних істин важить у ній мало. Загалом наука — це соціальна діяльність, у межах якої важливі особистості й підопічні часто недієздатних, але досі впливових фігур визначають, що таке «загальновідомий факт».”

“Le regard analytique et le regard intuitif sur la vie ne peuvent s'harmoniser dans un même être que dans la mesure où le premier est subordonné au second. C'est du second, et notamment du sentiment de beauté et de compassion qu'il enferme, que découle le sens de la totalité de même que celui des équilibres et de la limite. Le regard intuitif est la condition de la sagesse sans laquelle le regard analytique peut conduire à des excès suicidaires. L'analyse des phénomènes donne de la puissance sur eux, elle permet de dominer la nature, mais elle n'enferme aucune indication quant aux limites qu'il convient d'assigner à cette puissance.”
