Science Quotes by Ayn Rand (2 quotes)
Science was born as a result and consequence of philosophy; it cannot survive without a philosophical base. If philosophy perishes, science will be next to go.
— Ayn Rand
For the New Intellectual: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand (1963), 44.
Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision.
— Ayn Rand
…...
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) --
