P. Blavatsky

The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike. — Steven Weinberg

In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken..." — Carl Sagan

Science without philosophy, facts without perspective and valuation, cannot save us from havoc and despair. Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom. — Will Durant

Science...has become identified with a philosophy known as materialism or scientific naturalism.

I think . . . that philosophy has the duty of pointing out the falsity of outworn religious ideas, however estimable they may be as a form of art.
