“Might it be the discovery of a distant civilization and our common cosmic origins that finally drives home the message of the bond among all humans. Whether we're born in San Francisco or Sudan or close to the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy, we are the products of a billion-year lineage of wandering stardust. We, all of us, are what happens when a primordial mixture of hydrogen and helium evolves for so long that it begins to ask where it came from.” WayYearsHumansHeartLongHomeMightHappensAsksBornCommonProductsCivilizationMessagesDiscoveryBillionsWanderEvolveCosmicGalaxyMixturesSan FranciscoStardustHydrogenMilky WayLineageSudanHelium Author:Jill Tarter
“We can now determine, easily and relatively cheaply, the detailed chemical architecture of genes ; and we can trace the products of these genes ( enzymes and proteins ) as they influence the course of embryology . In so doing we have made the astounding discovery that all complex animal phyla - arthropods and vertebrates in particular - have retained, despite their half-billion years of evolutionary independence, an extensive set of common genetic blueprints for building bodies.” YearsMadeBodyCoursesAnimalCommonHalfInfluenceBuildingParticularProductsDiscoveryIndependenceComplexesDetermineArchitectureBillionsDespiteChemicalsGenesProteinBlueprintsEnzymesVertebratesArthropods Book:Leonardo's Mountain Of Clams Source: Leonardo's Mountain Of Clams
“I have put [the word] "discoveries" in inverted commas because scientific results, perhaps as much at least as artistic achievements, are a product of contemporary taste, driven by momentary appetites rather than eternal verities.” ResultsProductsTasteAchievementEternalDiscoveryDrivenContemporaryArtisticAppetiteMomentaryInverted Author:Stephen Bayley
“One of the laudable by-products of the Freudian quackery is the discovery that lying, in most cases, is involuntary and inevitable--that the liar can no more avoid it than he can avoid blinking his eyes when a light flashes or jumping when a bomb goes off behind him.” LightEyeLyingBehindsCasesProductsDiscoveryInevitableHis EyesBombsLiarsFlashJumpingInvoluntaryQuackery Book:Mencken Chrestomathy Source: Mencken Chrestomathy
“One reason I never patent my products is that if I did it would take so much time, I would get nothing else done. But mainly I don't want my discoveries to benefit specific favored persons.” IfsWantPersonsReasonDoneProductsBenefitsDiscoveryPatents Author:George Washington Carver
“The source of innovation is freedom. All we have - new knowledge, invention - comes from freedom. Discoveries and new knowledge come from freedom. When somebody is responsible only to himself, [has] only himself to satisfy, then you'll have invention, new thought, now product, new design, new ideas.” IdeasDesignProductsSourceDiscoveryInnovationResponsibleInventionNew IdeasNew ThoughtNew Knowledge Author:W.

“The genuinely significant creation, whether an idea, or a work of art, or a scientific discovery, is most likely to be seen at first as erroneous, bad, or foolish. Later it may be seen as obvious, something self-evident to all. Only still later does it receive its final evaluation as a creative contribution. It seems clear no contemporary mortal can satisfactorily evaluate a creative product at the time it is formed, and this statement is increasingly true the greater the novelty of the creation.” FirstsMayDoeArtStillsIdeasSelfSeemsCreativeClearGreaterCreationProductsDiscoveryFinalsObviousFoolishSignificantStatementsContemporaryMortalsContributionWorks Of ArtEvidentNoveltyEvaluateEvaluationScientific Discovery Author:Carl Rogers
“One of the most important discoveries I made in those early years was that to succeed at natural farming, you have to get rid of your expectations.
