You know what the best part about science is? No, not the scientists who seem like walking enigmas to us, regular people. Nope, not even the fact that science betters our lives each and every day. And not even the fact that without it, we’d still probably be living in some version of the Stone Age! Okay, well, these points do sound very solid, but we think it’s the joy of discovery and that Eureka! moment one must feel when discovering something that has never been seen, heard, or used before. What an incredible moment of utter joy it must be! And although most of us aren’t scientists, we can also feel the power of those unbelievable moments by reading these wonderful science quotes that we’ve gathered on this list.
Of course, these quotes about science aren’t only talking about the instances of discovery - they also talk about the importance of science in our lives and the responsibilities that it comes with. You know, one might get a feeling that science is almost like some sort of white magic - a means to make the world better if used properly and honestly. There’s also its counterpart, dark science, and that’s where controversies come. Those, too, are discussed in some of these scientific quotes, which makes for an even more interesting read!
So, the powerful quotes await you just below this text - be sure to check them out thoroughly, as a real scientist would! Once you are done with that, give the most interesting quotes your vote and share these wise words with your friends.

"Science is constantly proved all the time. If we take something like any fiction, any holy book, and destroyed it, in a thousand years' time, that wouldn't come back just as it was. Whereas if we took every science book and every fact and destroyed them all, in a thousand years they'd all be back because all the same tests would be the same result." - Ricky Gervais
