Einstein's space is no closer to reality than Van Gogh's sky. The glory of science is not in a truth more absolute than the truth of Bach or Tolstoy, but in the act of creation itself.

Jung, in the introduction to Frances G. Wickes' "Analysis der Kinderseele" (The Inner World of Childhood), 1931
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense.: Thomas H. Huxley (1825 - 1895)
In our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
The great tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.: Thomas Henry Huxley
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense.: Thomas H. Huxley (1825 - 1895)
There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
