Youth smiles without any reason. It is one of its chiefest charms.

A third ideal that has made its way in the modern world is reliance on reason especially reason disciplined and enriched by modern science. An eternal basis of human intercommunication is reason.

So one reason the science educators panic at the first sign of public rebellion is that they fear exposure of the implicit religious content in what they are teaching.

1988 I also received from the city of Vienna the cross of honour for art and science. These titles and the various honors mean a great deal to me most of all for the reason that they would mean a great deal to my parents too.

I like to browse in occult bookshops if for no other reason than to refresh my commitment to science.

I think the reason people are dealing with science less well now than 50 years ago is that it has become so complicated.

Science rests on reason and experiment and can meet an opponent with calmness but a belief is always sensitive.

One of the reasons I did this because I wasn't really looking for another science fiction film was that my daughter can see it. She's 9 and it's really a good film for all ages.

A second reason why science cannot replace judgement is the behavior of financial markets.

Well logos is science or reason something that helps us to function practically and effectively in the world and it must therefore be closely in tune and reflect accurately the realities of the world around us.

We're as clever as we think we are but we'll be a lot cleverer when we learn to use not just one brain but to pool huge numbers of brains. We're at a level technologically where we can share information and think collectively about our problems. We do it in science all the time - there's no reason why we can't do it in other endeavors.

As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise human science is at a loss.

For whatever reason I didn't succumb to the stereotype that science wasn't for girls. I got encouragement from my parents. I never ran into a teacher or a counselor who told me that science was for boys. A lot of my friends did.

Science is not only a disciple of reason but also one of romance and passion.

In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.

It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.

The enlightenment is under threat. So is reason. So is truth. So is science especially in the schools of America.

If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us that we are the reason there is a Universe does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?

The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship.

I think it's a terrible thing to write and not enjoy it. It's a sad thing. But of course a lot of people do work because they need to eat. And we all need to eat but that's not the only reason to work. You couldn't have paid me not to write.

I found out about reviews early on. They're mostly written by sad men on bad afternoons. That's probably why I'm less angry than some writers who are so narcissistic they consider every line of every review even a thoughtful one as major treason.

One of the reasons I wanted to teach deaf children was because it made me very sad that they spoke so clumsily and that they moved with less grace that I knew was possible of deaf people.

I was always depressed growing up. There wasn't a reason for it I just was. I was sad and morose. I cried a lot I wrote a lot and I read a lot and that was how I dealt with it.

And for some reason when I'm sad I do listen to Leonard Cohen I do listen to Joni Mitchell. I do find myself going to the music that's actually reflecting my mood as opposed to sticking on Motown which might actually bring my mood up.
