I think philosophers can do things akin to theoretical scientists, in that, having read about empirical data, they too can think of what hypotheses and theories might account for that data. So there's a continuity between philosophy and science in that way. — Robert Nozick
Both Newton and Darwin were driven by the data and were forced to recognize that they couldn't explain everything. It may be a characteristic of great scientists to know what to accept and what to leave out. — Lewis Wolpert

We are all antennae for creative thought. Some transmissions come on strong, others are more faint. If your antenna isn’t sensitively tuned, you’re likely to lose the data in the noise. Particularly since the signals coming through are often more subtle than the content we collect through sensory awareness. They are energetic more than tactile, intuitively perceived more than consciously recorded. — Rick Rubin
At the moment, most of the data on our gut microbiome is fairly generic, even if you don’t do the personalisation, you’re probably halfway there. — Tim Spector
Everything you say or allow into your eyes or ears becomes data that is stored in your heart. That data is later replayed during your prayer.

A theory with mathematical beauty is more likely to be correct than an ugly one that fits some experimental data. — Paul Dirac
