Carol S. Dweck Quotes

Science does not know its debt to imagination.

Science means constantly walking a tightrope between blind faith and curiosity; between expertise and creativity; between bias and openness; between experience and epiphany; between ambition and passion; and between arrogance and conviction - in short, between an old today and a new tomorrow.

I believe a lot about psychology, or I'd like to learn about it - I'm someone who likes to learn about everything.

Creativity is essential to particle physics, cosmology, and to mathematics, and to other fields of science, just as it is to its more widely acknowledged beneficiaries - the arts and humanities.

People wouldn't even go into science unless there was something much bigger to be discovered, something that is transcendent.

I'm more interested in what I discover than what I invent.

We take art, and I love all that. But I also like science for some reason. I just like finding out why things happen.

Investing in science education and curiosity-driven research is investing in the future.

Imagination is the Discovering Faculty, pre-eminently. It is that which penetrates into the unseen worlds around us, the worlds of Science.

We seem to forget that innovation doesn't just come from equations or new kinds of chemicals, it comes from a human place. Innovation in the sciences is always linked in some way, either directly or indirectly, to a human experience.

Science is our last and greatest frontier.

I was always exploring relationships between art and science.

Science has always been my preoccupation and when you think a breakthrough is possible, it is terribly exciting.

I feel like science and art are cousins.

I think the scientific goals and the technical challenges were the two things that equally motivated me.

Finding out that something you have just discovered is considered all but impossible is one of the joys of science.

Science is exploration. The fundamental nature of exploration is that we don't know what's there. We can guess and hope and aim to find out certain things, but we have to expect surprises.

I'm sort of an experimenter; I thought it'd be interesting to play around and see what's there.

Art and science have so much in common - the process of trial and error, finding something new and innovative, and to experiment and succeed in a breakthrough.

Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.

I get curious about new things. My real strength is going into a field that has not been investigated before, and finding new approaches to it.

Thus there arose in me both a need and a plan for the foundation of the human sciences.

I'm very interested in science.

New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure.

I believe that science is the engine of prosperity, that if you look around at the wealth of civilization today, it's the wealth that comes from science.
