Great quote and even better, source and I do not mean Pulp Fiction although great flck.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Science is nothing but developed perception, interpreted intent, common sense rounded out and minutely articulated.
-George Santayana (1863-1952) U. S. philosopher and writer. The Life of Reason.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
-Jules Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) French mathematician.
Science is what you know. Philosophy is what you don't know.
-Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English philosopher, mathematician.
It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious.
-Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) English philosopher and mathematician.
[Those] who have an excessive faith in their theories or in their ideas are not only poorly disposed to make discoveries, but they also make very poor observations.
-Claude Bernard (1813-78) French physiologist, 1865.
It is a popular delusion that the scientific enquirer is under an obligation not to go beyond generalisation of observed facts...but anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond the facts, rarely get as far.
-Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-95) English biologist.
Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum mechanics cannot possibly have understood it.
-Niels Henrik David Bohr (1885-1962) Danish physicist.
To say that a man is made up of certain chemical elements is a satisfactory description only for those who intend to use him as a fertilizer.
-Hermann Joseph Muller (1890-1967) U. S. geneticist. Nobel prize for medicine 1946.
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it is tied to everything else in the universe.

A man must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere.
-Charles Franklin Kettering (1876-1958) U. S. engineer and inventor.

There is no statement so absurd that no philosopher will make it.
-Cicero, Marcus Tullius (106-43 BCE) Roman statesman. De Divinatione
Philosophy, n. A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.
-Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer. (The Devil's Dictionary, 1911)
Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.
-Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) German Philosopher
Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.
-Attributed to Richard Feynman (1918-88) U.S. Physicist. Nobel Prize 1965.
...philosophy is to science as pornography is to sex.
-Steve Jones
Philosophy consists very largely of one philosopher arguing that all others are jackasses. He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself.
-Henry Louis Mencken. (1880-1956). Minority Report, H. L. Mencken's Notebooks. Knopf, 1956.

A few more for the Physics/ Science geeks...
I am sitting here 93 million miles from the sun on a rounded rock which is spinning at the rate of 1000 miles an hour... and my head pointing down into space with nothing between me and infinity but something called gravity which I can't even understand, and which you can't even buy any place so as to have some stored away for a gravityless day...
-Russell Baker
Laws of Thermodynamics:
1. You cannot win.
2. You cannot break even.
3. You cannot stop playing the game.
-Anon
Electricity is of two kinds, positive and negative. The difference is, I presume, that one comes a little more expensive, but is more durable; the other is a cheaper thing, but the moths get into it.
-Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) Canadian humorist, economist. Literary Lapses (1910).
Two brothers bought a cattle ranch and named it "Focus." When their father asked why they chose that name, they replied: "It's the place where the sons raise meat."
-Attributed to Prof. W. B. Pietenpol, Physics Department, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.
There's no system foolproof enough to defeat a sufficiently great fool.
-Edward Teller, quoted in "Nuclear Reactions", by Joel Davis in Omni, May 1988, p. 46.
It was absolutely marvelous working for Pauli. You could ask him anything. There was no worry that he would think a particular question was stupid, since he thought all questions were stupid.
-Victor Frederick Weisskopf (1908- ) Austrian physicist.
