| En forskare i sitt laboratorium är inte bara en tekniker: han är samtidigt ett barn som konfronterar naturliga problem som fascinerar honom likt vore de sagor. | Mme Marie Curie (1867-1934) |
| A scientist shouldn't be asked to judge the economic and moral value of his work. All we should ask the scientist to do is find the truth-and then not keep it from anyone. | Arthur Kornberg (1918-) |
| Creation 'scientists' must be aware that the informed workers in literary interpretation and in physical and biological sciences regard their stance as irresponsible, and that in the scholarly world as well as in the schools they are doing irreparabl | Ken Campbell |
| No doubt, a scientist isn't necessarily penalized for being a complex, versatile, >eccentric individual with lots of extra-scientific interests. But it certainly doesn't help him a bit. | Stephen Toulmin (1922-) |
| Scientists are peeping Toms at the keyhole of eternity | Arthur Koestler (1905-1938) |
| What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on. | Jacques Cousteau (1910-1997) |
| There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth. | Mme Marie Curie (1867-1934) |
| It sounds paradoxical to say the attainment of scientific truth has been effected, to a great extent, by the help of scientific errors | Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) |
| I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale. | Mme Marie Curie (1867-1934) |
| Scientists now believe that the primary biological function of breasts is to make males stupid. | Dave Barry (1947-) |
| Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say that there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. | Frank Zappa (1940-1993) |
| A good scientist is a person in whom the childhood quality of perennial curiosity lingers on. Once he gets an answer, he has other questions. | Frederick Seitz |

| We journalists... are also extremely impressed with scientists, and we will, frankly, print just about any wacky thing they tell us, especially if it involves outer space. | Dave Barry (1947-) |
| There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth. | Mme Marie Curie (1867-1934) |
| May every young scientist remember... and not fail to keep his eyes open for the possibility that an irritating failure of his apparatus to give consistent results may once or twice in a lifetime conceal an important discovery. | Patrick M. S. Blackett (1897-1974) |
| When, however, the lay public rallies round an idea that is denounced by distinguished but elderly scientists and supports that idea with great fervor and emotion - the distinguished but elderly scientists are then, after all, probably right | Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) |
| When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. | Arthur C. Clarke (1917-) |
| A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales. | Mme Marie Curie (1867-1934) |
| Scientists often have a naive faith that if only they could discover enough facts about a problem, these facts would somehow arrange themselves in a compelling and true solution | Theodosius Dobzhansky (1900-) |
| What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on. | Jacques Cousteau (1910-1997) |

| If only the sun-drenched celebrities are being noticed and worshiped, then our children are going to have a tough time seeing the value in the shadows, where the thinkers, probers and scientists are keeping society together. | Rita Dove (1952-) |
| No doubt, a scientist isn't necessarily penalized for being a complex, versatile, >eccentric individual with lots of extra-scientific interests. But it certainly doesn't help him a bit. | Stephen Toulmin (1922-) |
