We especially need imagination in science.

Scientists have to have a metaphor. All scientists start with imagination.

One way we can enliven the imagination is to push it toward the illogical. We're not scientists. We don't always have to make the logical, reasonable leap.

The pure natural scientist is liable to forget that minds exist, and that if it were not for them he could neither know nor act on physical objects.

Without imagination we can go nowhere. And imagination is not restricted to the arts. Every scientist I have met who has been a success has had to imagine.

Science is nothing but perception.

The center line of science literacy - which not many people tell you, but I feel this strongly, and I will go to my grave making this point - is how you think.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

Nature's imagination is so boundless compared to our own meager human imagination.

Science shows us what exists but not what to do about it.
