Science Quotes by Stephen Graham (2 quotes)
As you sit on the hillside, or lie prone under the trees of the forest, or sprawl wet-legged on the
shingly beach of a mountain stream, the great door, that does not look like a door, opens.
— Stephen Graham
The Gentle Art of Tramping (1926), 95.
Life is not a chain of events but an area—something spreading out from a hidden centre and welling at once toward all points of the compass.
— Stephen Graham
The Gentle Art of Tramping (1926), 193.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
