Science, especially evolutionary sciences, can only proceed from learn — Science

"Twas thus by the glare of false science betrayd, That leads to bewilder, and dazzles to blind."

"People keep saying "science doesnt know everything!" Well, science "knows" it doesnt know everything; otherwise it would stop."

"Science has nothing to be ashamed of even in the ruins of Nagasaki. The shame is theirs who appeal to other values than the human imaginative values which science has evolved. The shame is ours if we do not make science part of our world..."

"Science is an attempt to represent the known world as a closed system with a perfect formalism. Scientific discovery is a constant maverick process of breaking out at the ends of the system ... and then hastily closing it. ... The act of the imagination is the opening of the system so that it shows new connections. ...every act of imagination is the discovery of likenesses between two things which were thought unlike. ... They introduce new likenesses, whether it is Shakespeare ... or Newton saying that the moon in essence is exactly like a thrown apple."

"What we might call, by way of Eminence, the Dismal Science."

"... it really gets to this idea — how science asks us to learn about organisms, traditional knowledge asks us to learn from them."
