I can think of very few science books I've read that I've called useful. What they've been is wonderful. They've actually made me feel that the world around me is a much fuller, much more wonderful, much more awesome place than I ever realized it was. That has been, for me, the wonder of science. That's why science fiction retains its compelling fascination for people. That's why the move of science fiction into biology is so intriguing. I think that science has got a wonderful story to tell.

Simon Jenkins

The highest wisdom has but one science-the science of the whole-the science explaining the whole creation and man's place in it.

Leo Tolstoy

Science is a little bit more than a wonderful way of modelling and predicting; its a wonderful technical abstraction. I think science is a really wonderful technical abstraction.

Bernard Beckett

Science is a little bit more than a wonderful way of modelling and predicting; it's a wonderful technical abstraction. I think science is a really wonderful technical abstraction.

One of the dangers of science fiction, particularly bad science fiction, is that you have these scenes where the characters turn to a blackboard and start explaining how this faster-than-light drive works, or something like that. We never really have those conversations in real life. That's not part of the way we interact as human beings.

Alastair Reynolds

Religion can have psychological and social roles, but in terms of really explaining how things work, science works differently. Science is based on material elements at the core.

Lisa Randall

Science is not about making predictions or performing experiments. Science is about explaining.

Bill Gaede

Our public schools arbitrarily define science as explaining the world by natural processes alone. In essence, a religion of naturalism is being imposed on millions of students. They need to be taught the real nature of science, including its limitations.

Ken Ham

Music has an immediate effect. If you want to go beyond that and look underneath, film is a good way of explaining.

Stewart Copeland

I'm in my father's car at age 9 or 10 crying to Leonard Cohen's 'Famous Blue Raincoat,' thinking that you could write nearly a love letter to a man who betrayed you by having an affair with your wife. I was thinking how wonderful and pure music can be for explaining situations.

Lou Doillon

The World is full of wonders, but they become more Wonderful, not less Wonderful when Science looks at them.

David Attenborough

Not explaining science seems to me perverse. When you're in love, you want to tell the world.

Carl Sagan

Science is wonderful, science is important, and so are children, so are young people, and so what could be better than to write a science book for young people?
