1 " Extinguished theologians lie about the cradle of every science as the strangled snakes beside that of Hercules; and history records that whenever science and orthodoxy have been fairly opposed, the latter has been forced to retire from the lists, bleeding and crushed if not annihilated; scotched, if not slain. "
― Thomas Henry Huxley , Lay Sermons, Addresses, And Reviews
2 " Round about the accredited and orderly facts of every science there ever floats a sort of dust-cloud of exceptional observations, of occurrences minute and irregular and seldom met with, which it always proves more easy to ignore than to attend to... Anyone will renovate his science who will steadily look after the irregular phenomena, and when science is renewed, its new formulas often have more of the voice of the exceptions in them than of what were supposed to be the rules. "
― William James
3 " Remember that every science is based upon an abstraction. An abstraction is taking a point of view or looking at things under a certain aspect or from a particular angle. All sciences are differentiated by their abstraction. "
― Fulton J. Sheen , Life is Worth Living
4 " I could never have gone far in any science because on the path of every science the lion Mathematics lies in wait for you. "
― C.S. Lewis , Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life
