"Science never gives up searching for truth, since it never claims to have achieved it." ― John Charles Polanyi Topic(s): Science More From John Charles Polanyi "It is this, at its most basic, that makes science a humane pursuit; it acknowledges the commonality of people’s experience." "Young people ask me if this country is serious about science. They aren’t thinking about the passport that they will hold, but the country that they must rely on for support and encouragement." "Science exists, moreover, only as a journey toward troth. Stifle dissent and you end that journey." More In Science "Music is not math. It’s science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion."― Bruno Mars "It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover."― Henri Poincare "Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10."― Neil Armstrong
