The most wonderful discovery made by scientists is science itself.

Jacob Bronowski 108 quotes

Dissent is the native activity...

Dissent is the native activity of the scientist, and it has got him into a good deal of trouble in the last years. But if that is cut off, what is left will not be a scientist. And I doubt whether it will be a man.

The essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are
on the way to a pertinent answer.

Many theories of the ancient world seem terribly childish today, a hodge-podge of fables and false comparisons.But our theories will seem childish five-hundred years from now.Every theory is based on some analogy, and sooner or later the theory fails because the analogy turns out to be false. A theory in its day helps to solve the problems of the day.

You will die but the carbon will not; its career does not end with you. It will return to the soil, and there a plant may take it up again in time, sending it once more on a cycle of plant and animal life.

The values by which we are to ...

The values by which we are to survive are not rules for just and unjust conduct, but are those deeper illuminations in whose light justice and injustice, good and evil, means and ends are seen in fearful sharpness of outline.

Jacob Bronowski 108 quotes

Man is unique not because he d...

Man is unique not because he does science, and his is unique not because he does art, but because science and art equally are expressions of his marvelous plasticity of mind.

Jacob Bronowski 108 quotes

Jacob Bronowski 108 quotes

Every animal leaves traces of ...

Every animal leaves traces of what it was; man alone leaves traces of what he created.

No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.

Jacob Bronowski 108 quotes

Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature.

The world can only be grasped ...

The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation.

Has there ever been a society which has died of dissent? Several have died of conformity in our lifetime.

Einstein was a man who could ask immensely simple questions. And what his work showed is that when the answers are simple too, then you can hear God thinking.

Science has nothing to be ashamed of even in the ruins of Nagasaki. The shame is theirs who appeal to other values than the human imaginative values which science has evolved.

Jacob Bronowski 108 quotes

We are all afraid for our confidence, for the future, for the world. That is the nature of the human imagination. Yet every man, every civilization, has gone forward because of its engagement with what it has set itself to do.
