Science Quotes by Jane Wagner (1 quote)
After all, what is reality anyway? Nothin’ but a collective hunch.
— Jane Wagner
Performed by Lily Tomlin as Trudi the bag lady, in Broadway show, published with the same title, as The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe (1986), 18. Previous line is “I refuse to be intimidated by reality anymore.” Part of a Broadway show by the same name.
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) --
