Seeing is an experience. People, not their eyes, see. There is more to seeing than meets the eyeball.

Norwood Russell Hanson Philosopher

There is no logical staircase running from the physics of 10-28 cm. to the physics of 1028 light-years.

Norwood Russell Hanson Philosopher

The theory, hypothesis, framework, or background knowledge held by an investigator can strongly influence what is observed.

Norwood Russell Hanson Philosopher

There is good news in the data the strongest support for priests is to be found among the younger generation.

Andrew Greeley Priest

Only by being suspended aloft, by dangling my mind in the heavens and mingling my rare thought with the ethereal air, could I ever achieve strict scientific accuracy in my survey of the vast empyrean. Had I pursued my inquiries from down there on the ground, my data would be worthless. The earth, you see, pulls down the delicate essence of thought to its own gross level.

Aristophanes Playwright

It's always the balance between the individual's subjective experience and the social structural condition. As individuals we have access to more than we've ever had before. Giving up our data seems a small price to pay, especially if, as you say, we don't feel we have anything to hide.

Astra Taylor Filmmaker

The scientific method actually correctly uses the most direct evidence as the most reliable, because that's the way you are least likely to get led astray into dead ends and to misunderstand your data.

Aubrey De Grey Author

For me art is a continuous discovery into reality, an exploration of visual data which has been going on for centuries, each artist contributing to the next generation's advancement. I wanted to go a step further and extend the boundaries.

Audrey Flack Artist

Our intelligence communities spend a lot of time and effort gathering a lot of strands and a lot of data [on Russian hacking]. There are times where they're very cautious and they say, "We think this is what happened, but we're not certain."

Barack Obama 44th U.S. President

I love science. I hate supposition, superstition, exaggeration and falsified data. Show me the research, show me the results, show me the conclusions - and then show me some qualified peer reviews of all that.
