Observe how things are connected, and how things act together. See the beautiful web.-Marcus Aurelius |
Borders? I have never seen one. But I have heard they exist in the minds of some people - Thor Heyerdahl |
I sometimes think that general and popular treatises are almost as important for the progress of science as original work. |
When we try to pick out anything by itself we find that it is bound fast by a thousand invisible cords that cannot be broken, to everything in the universe.- John Muir |
The aim of science should certainly be to remove the mystery from natural phenomena, but not to take away wonder or that quality of nature which allows for the development and play of aesthetic appreciation.-FF Darling |
Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.-Van Gogh |
To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering-Aldo Leopold |
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.- Charles Darwin |
... gravitation of scholars' roles from passive appropriator of information to active provider of information by contributing directly into the common pool.- Elinor Ostrom |
We humans may be the smartest objects that ever came down the pike of life's history on earth, but we are outstandingly inept about certain issues, particularly when our emotional arrogance joins forces with our intellectual ignorance.-SJ Gould |
Science should be stripped of whatever tends to clothe it in a strange and repulsive garb; and every thing which, to keep up an appearance of superiority in its professors over the rest of mankind, assumes an unnecessary guise of obscurity, should be sacrificed without mercy.-John Herschel |
BIAS | The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.-DNA |
The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.-Rachel Carson |
"What's the use of their having names," the Gnat said, "if they won't answer to them?" "No use to them," said Alice, "but it's useful to the people that name them, I suppose. If not, why do they have names at all?" -Lewis Carroll |
Our knowledge can only be finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite. - Karl Popper. கற்றது கைமண் அளவு, கல்லாதது உலகளவு, [What you know is a fistful, what you don't is as big as the world] - Avvaiyar 13th century |
42 | ...imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.-Douglas Adams |

A little Learning is a dang’rous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.
Fir’d at first sight with what the Muse imparts,
In fearless youth we tempt the heights of Arts,
While from the bounded level of our mind,
Short views we take, nor see the lengths behind;
But more advanc’d, behold with strange surprise
New distant scenes of endless science rise!
So pleased at first the towering Alps we try,
Mount o’er the vales, and seem to tread the sky ;
The eternal snows appear already past,
And the first clouds and mountains seem the last ;
But those attained, we tremble to survey
The growing labours of the lengthened way ;
The increasing prospect tires our wandering eyes,
Hills peep o’er hills, and Alps on Alps arise !
