“New scientific ideas never spring from a communal body, however organized, but rather from the head of an individually inspired researcher who struggles with his problems in lonely thought and unites all his thought on one single point which is his whole world for the moment.” WorldIdeasWholeMomentsProblemBodyInspirationScienceCommunityStruggleSpringLonelyAccountsInspiredWhole WorldOrganizedResearchers Author:Max Planck
“Orderliness by itself is not sufficient to account for the nature of organized systems in general or for those created by man in particular. Mere orderliness leads to increasing impoverishment and finally to the lowest possible level of structure, no longer clearly distinguishable from chaos, which is the absence of order. A counterprinciple is needed, to which orderliness is secondary. It must supply what is to be ordered.” MenOrderLevelsParticularNeededAccountsStructureMereChaosAbsenceSufficientOrganizedLowestOrderliness Author:Rudolf Arnheim
“The organized church sometimes puts boundaries on us that the Bible doesn't. So I'm living my life for an audience of one. I live my life to please God. Some people won't understand, but I don't give an account to some people.” PeopleGivingSometimesChurchAudiencePleaseAccountsBoundariesOrganizedLiving My LifeI Live My LifeAudience Of One Author:Anne Graham Lotz
“I took biology in high school and didn't like it at all. It was focused on memorization. ... I didn't appreciate that biology also had principles and logic ... [rather than dealing with a] messy thing called life. It just wasn't organized, and I wanted to stick with the nice pristine sciences of chemistry and physics, where everything made sense. I wish I had learned sooner that biology could be fun as well.” WellsMadeWantedSchoolScienceFunWishPrinciplesNiceHigh SchoolAppreciateLogicAccountsSticksAppreciationFocusedPhysicsOrganizedBiologyChemistryMessyPristineMemorization Author:Francis Collins
“If we are to define science, ... it does not consist so much in knowing, nor even in "organized knowledge," as it does in diligent inquiry into truth for truth's sake, without any sort of axe to grind, nor for the sake of the delight of contemplating it, but from an impulse to penetrate into the reason of things.” IfsDoeReasonScienceKnowledgeKnowingAccountsSakeDelightImpulseOrganizedContemplatingInquiryPenetrateGrindDiligent Book:Collected Papers Source: Collected Papers
