For me science is already fantastical enough. Unlocking the secrets of nature with fundamental physics or cosmology or astrobiology leads you into a wonderland compared with which beliefs in things like alien abductions pale into insignificance.

Science is a wonderful discipline to which we are deeply indebted.

I don't think academic writing ever was wonderful. However science used to be much less specialized.

The most wonderful discovery made by scientists is science itself.

Man has to awaken to wonder - and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again.

That's the whole problem with science. You've got a bunch of empiricists trying to describe things of unimaginable wonder.

This world after all our science and sciences is still a miracle wonderful inscrutable magical and more to whosoever will think of it.

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars conquer the deserts eradicate disease tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce.

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.

Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question 'How?' but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question 'Why?'
