Science Quotes by Eden Phillpotts (2 quotes)
Faith is a permanent and vital endowment of the human mind—a part of reason itself. The insane alone are without it.
— Eden Phillpotts
A Shadow Passes (1919), 62.
The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
— Eden Phillpotts
A Shadow Passes (1919), 173.
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) --
