“We call the one side [of humanity] religion, and we call the other science. Religion is always right. ... Science is always wrong; it is the very artifice of men. Science can never solve one problem without raising ten more problems.” MenProblemScienceHumanitySidesTenSolutionsAccountsSolveArtificeScience ReligionAlways Wrong Book:Einstein on Cosmic Religion and Other Opinions and Aphorisms Source: Einstein on Cosmic Religion and Other Opinions and Aphorisms
“The real value of science is in the getting, and those who have tasted the pleasure of discovery alone know what science is. A problem solved is dead.

“The greatest achievements in the science of this [twentieth] century are themselves the sources of more puzzlement than human beings have ever experienced. Indeed, it is likely that the twentieth century will be looked back at as the time when science provided the first close glimpse of the profundity of human ignorance. We have not reached solutions; we have only begun to discover how to ask questions.” FirstsHumansScienceAsksHuman BeingsCenturyIgnoranceSourceAchievementSolutionsAccountsIgnorantGlimpseTwentieth CenturyProfundityGreatest Achievement Author:Lewis Thomas
“The solutions put forth by imperialism are the quintessence of simplicity...When they speak of the problems of population and birth, they are in no way moved by concepts related to the interests of the family or of society...Just when science and technology are making incredible advances in all fields, they resort to technology to suppress revolutions and ask the help of science to prevent population growth. In short, the peoples are not to make revolutions, and women are not to give birth. This sums up the philosophy of imperialism.” WayGivingPhilosophyHelpingProblemScienceAsksSpeakGrowthInterestTechnologyFieldsRevolutionBirthSolutionsConceptsAccountsMovedIncrediblesSimplicityPopulationRelatedImperialismResortsScience And TechnologyPopulation GrowthQuintessence Author:Fidel Castro

“We must not let history repeat itself in Iraq. The reality is there is no military solution in Iraq. This is a sectarian war with long standing roots that were flamed when we invaded Iraq in 2003.

“Why do they [Americans] quarrel, why do they hate Negroes, Indians, even Germans, why do they not have science and poetry commensurate with themselves, why are there so many frauds and so much nonsense? I cannot soon give a solution to these questions ... It was clear that in the United States there was a development not of the best, but of the middle and worst sides of European civilization; the notorious general voting, the tendency to politics... all the same as in Europe.
