"Perhaps it would be better for science, that all criticism should be avowed." ― Charles Babbage Topic(s): Science More From Charles Babbage "That science has long been neglected and declining in England, is not an opinion originating with me, but is shared by many, and has been expressed by higher authority than mine." "It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that some portion of the neglect of science in England, may be attributed to the system of education we pursue." "To those who have chosen the profession of medicine, a knowledge of chemistry, and of some branches of natural history, and, indeed, of several other departments of science, affords useful assistance."

You have to have a global attitude."― Rupert Murdoch "At the moment I’m enjoying a new challenge at the Royal Opera House, but I’m also keen to pursue my interest in television and particularly in science."― Deborah Bull "Thug Life to me is dead."― Tupac Shakur
