Science shouldn't be just for scientists, and there are encouraging signs that it is becoming more pervasive in culture and the media.

I'm a big believer that science is part of a larger cultural thing. Science is not all by itself.

The idea that science is just some luxury that you'll get around to if you can afford it is regressive to any future a country might dream for itself.

I believe that science is the engine of prosperity, that if you look around at the wealth of civilization today, it's the wealth that comes from science.

Science is an international enterprise where discoveries in one part of the world are useful in other parts.

Science is a perception of the world around us. Science is a place where what you find in nature pleases you.

After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.

Science is an integral part of culture. It's not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It's one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.

Science is an enterprise that should be cherished as an activity of the free human mind. Because it transforms who we are, how we live, and it gives us an understanding of our place in the universe.
