Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact.

Science is not everything, but science is very beautiful.

Science moves with the spirit of an adventure characterized both by youthful arrogance and by the belief that the truth, once found, would be simple as well as pretty.

Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics.

Science is about unravelling nature.

Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.

When all is said and done, science actually takes hard work and a willingness to sometimes find out that your most cherished hypothesis is wrong.

Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.

Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.

Scientific understanding is often beautiful, a profoundly aesthetic experience which gives pleasure not unlike the reading of a great poem.
