John Steinbeck Quotes About Science

Quotes about: Science

• It is not enough to say that we cannot know or judge because all the information is not in. The process of gathering knowledge does not lead to knowing.

So we draw worlds and fit them like tracings against the world about us, and crumple them when we find they do not fit and draw new ones.
