“In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the ...” — Galileo Galilei Quote

“In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.”

“(T)he increase of known truths stimulates the investigation, establishment, and growth of the arts.”

“The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.”

“It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.”

“And yet it moves.”

“I give infinite thanks to God, who has been pleased to make me the first observer of marvelous things.”

“The meaning of world is the separation of wish and fact.”

“How often people speak of art and science as though they were two entirely different things, with no interconnection. An artist is emotional, they think, and uses only his intuition; he sees all at once and has no need of reason. A scientist is cold, they think, and uses only his reason; he argues carefully step by step, and needs no imagination. That is all wrong. The true artist is quite rational as well as imaginative and knows what he is doing; if he does not, his art suffers. The true scientist is quite imaginative as well as rational, and sometimes leaps to solutions where reason can follow only slowly; if he does not, his science suffers.”

“Science is organized knowledge.”

“কলেজে আই.এ. পড়ার সময় কোলরিজের 'রাইম অফ দি অ্যানসেন্ট ম্যারিনার' পাঠ্য ছিল। অধ্যাপক উইলিং সাসপেনশন অফ ডিসবিলিফ বলে একটা সাহিত্যিক জাদুর কথা বলেছিলেন। অপ্রাকৃত কাহিনি পড়ার আগে পাঠক মনকে প্রস্তুত করে নেয়, তার অবিশ্বাসকে সাময়িকভাবে মুলতুবি রাখে।”

“Someone may have all the technical knowledge, scientific intellect and business know-how but when he/she decides to choose laziness, excuses, procrastination, complaining and other bad attitudes, his/her relevance is meaningless.”
