Science Quotes
Science taken seriously, and occasionally not.
Most of these quotes come from people genuinely engaged with science, recalling museum trips that sparked early curiosity and admiring mathematics for tackling problems that actually have solutions. For quotes on scientific humor specifically, see Jokes.

It should be that every child, when they leave school, can do ten meals, because when they leave home, they've got to be able to eat healthily. Blow the science of it and everything else. They've just got to be able to know what's good for them, how to buy it, and how to make a few dishes that they enjoy and don't cost too much.

Los Angeles is an uncanny place to live. It has many science fiction qualities. For example, when I'm standing in line at the supermarket and I recognise the person in front of me, but I can't figure out how I know them. Suddenly, I realise I saw them in some random commercial six years ago.
