Science Quotes by Christopher Morley (3 quotes)
It’s a good thing to turn your mind upside down now and then, like an hour-glass, to let the particles run the other way.
— Christopher Morley
The Haunted Bookshop (1919), 13.
My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed.
— Christopher Morley
In Lily Splane, Quantum Consciousness (2004),307
Printer’s ink has been running a race against gunpowder these many, many years. Ink is handicapped, in a way, because you can blow up a man with gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him up with a book. But the gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim, while a book can keep on exploding for centuries.
— Christopher Morley
The Haunted Bookshop (1919), 127.
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) --
