“[The scientist] believes passionately in facts, in measured facts. He believes there are no bad facts, that all facts are good facts, though they may be facts about bad things, and his intellectual satisfaction can come only from the acquisition of accurately known facts, from their organization into a body of knowledge, in which the inter-relationship of the measured facts is the dominant consideration.” BelieveMayFactsBodyScienceKnownKnowledgeIntellectualOrganizationScientistSatisfactionConsiderationBad ThingsDominantAcquisition Author:Robert Watson-Watt
“There are few humanities that could surpass in discipline, in beauty, in emotional and aesthetic satisfaction, those humanities which are called mathematics, and the natural sciences.” HumanityNaturalEmotionalDisciplineMathematicsSatisfactionAestheticNatural Science Author:Robert Watson-Watt
“There is a great deal of emotional satisfaction in the elegant demonstration, in the elegant ordering of facts into theories, and in the still more satisfactory, still more emotionally exciting discovery that the theory is not quite right and has to be worked over again, very much as any other work of art-a painting, a sculpture has to be worked over in the interests of aesthetic perfection. So there is no scientist who is not to some extent worthy of being described as artist or poet.” ArtStillsFactsScienceArtistOrderInterestDealsEmotionalPaintingPoetTheoryDiscoveryPerfectionScientistExcitingSatisfactionWorthyWorks Of ArtAestheticElegantSculptureDemonstration Author:Robert Watson-Watt
