In teaching man, experimental science results in lessening his pride more and more by proving to him every day that primary causes, like the objective reality of things, will be hidden from him forever and that he can only know relations. (Claude Bernard)
I had the opportunity of being acquainted with divers worthy Persons, inquisitive into Natural Philosophy, and other parts of Humane Learning; And particularly of what hath been called the New Philosophy or Experimental Philosophy. We did by agreement, divers of us, meet weekly in London on a certain day, to treat and discourse of such affairs. View quote
John Wallis
Writers are notoriously unable to know about themselves. Faulkner thought 'The Fable' was his best novel. F. Scott Fitzgerald liked 'Tender Is the Night,' an experimental novel. View quote
Joyce Carol Oates
ACCORDING TO the numerous deductions and conclusions made by me during experimental elucidations concerning the productivity of the perception by contemporary people of new impressions from what is heard and read, and also according to the thought of one of the sayings of popular wisdom I have just remembered, handed down to our days from very ancient times, which declares: "Any prayer may be heard by the Higher Powers and a corresponding answer obtained only if it is uttered thrice: :Firstly-for the welfare or the peace of the souls of one's parents. :Secondly-for the welfare of one's neighbor. :And only thirdly-for oneself personally.

G. I. Gurdjieff
When I look at my life and the lives of my female friends these days - with our dizzying number of opportunities and talents - I sometimes feel as though we are all mice in a giant experimental maze, scurrying around frantically, trying to find our way through. View quote
Elizabeth Gilbert
I am not doing something that it is experimental music in relation to classical music. View quote
Joanna Newsom
It must be said that an authentic work of art needs no philosophical justification. In principle, if Philosophical Treatises could explain a work of art then there would be no justification for the existence of that work art. Put it differently, a work of art precisely enters into the scene when philosophy and other experimental sciences are inept of representing or elucidating an artistic vision. View quote

Robert Grosseteste
All progress is experimental. View quote
John Jay Chapman
I oppose any belief that contradicts experimental evidence as determined by the methods of science. All beliefs not in such contradiction may be considered as faith. Whether faith in a particular belief is beneficial or not is another matter. View quote
Alan Lightman
My style advice to other girls is to be experimental but always have a 'home base' and stick with your comfort style. (Taylor Swift)
I have a Ph.D. in cell biology. And that's really manual labor. I mean, experimental science, you do it with your hands. So it's very different. You're out there in a lab, cleaning test tubes, and it just wasn't that fascinating. View quote
Barbara Ehrenreich
Experimental science is fascinating, but I don't want to do it. I want other people to do it, and I'll read about it. View quote
Barbara Ehrenreich
Believing, with Max Weber, that man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun, I take culture to be those webs, and the analysis of it to be therefore not an experimental science in search of law but an interpretive one in search of meaning. View quote
Clifford Geertz
I am interested in music that, while being experimental, is still great and fun to listen to. View quote
Jesper Kyd
The most essential characteristic of scientific technique is that it proceeds from experiment, not from tradition. The experimental habit of mind is a difficult one for most people to maintain; indeed, the science of one generation has already become the tradition of the next. View quote
Bertrand Russell
The prevalent sensation of oneself as a separate ego enclosed in a bag of skin is a hallucination which accords neither with Western science nor with the experimental philosophy-religions of the East - in particular the central and germinal Vedanta philosophy of Hinduism. View quote
Alan Watts
Reasoning which touches experimental reality nowhere is the business of angelologists and theologians, not of physical scientists. And yet such papers as these describe systems which touch our experience nowhere. Were they within the experimental reach of the ancients? View quote
Walter M. Miller, Jr.
The experimental researches of Faraday are so voluminous, their descriptions are so detailed, and their wealth of illustration is so great, as to render it a heavy labour to master them. View quote
John Tyndall
We now come to the underpinning contention of the previous monograph. Psychological phenomena, especially those involved in learning and education, stem from or are related to states of consciousness. Using the argument which relates the information available about conscious processes to the type of experimental situation, we maintain that the basic unit of psychological /educational observation is a conversation. In order to test hypotheses and explicate the conversational transactions, it is necessary to invoke various tools and explanatory constructs. These are coherent enough to count when interlocked as a theory, and this theory was dubbed conversation theory. View quote
Gordon Pask
If we take in our hand any volume of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number' No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence' No. Commit it then to the flames for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion. (David Hume)
Therefore from a closer and purer league between these two faculties, the experimental and the rational (such as has never yet been made), much may be hoped. View quote
Francis Bacon
Haven't you wondered how they could have survived, when, in all of our experimental work every small change we make dies? View quote
Edwin H. Land
