True science
investigates and brings to human perception such truths and
such knowledge as the people of a given time and society
consider most important. Art transmits these truths from the
region of perception to the region of emotion.

Scientists
have odious manners, except when you prop up their theory;
then you can borrow money of them.
-- Mark Twain

Science is
feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated;
when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are
tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do
it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of
science lies in the art of making science.
-- Paul Valery
1871-1945, French Poet,
Essayist
Science means
simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always
successful. All the rest is literature.
-- Paul Valery
1871-1945, French Poet,

If politicians
and scientist were lazier, how much happier we should all
be.
-- Evelyn Waugh
1903-1966, British Novelist
To us, men of
the West, a very strange thing happened at the turn of the
century; without noticing it, we lost science, or at least
the thing that had been called by that name for the last
four centuries. What we now have in place of it is something
different, radically different, and we don't know what it
is. Nobody knows what it is.
-- Simone Weil
1910-1943, French
Philosopher, Mystic
