ROSALIND FRANKLIN QUOTES

“Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated.”

“There is no prescribed route to follow to arrive at a new idea. You have to make the intuitive leap.”

“Nature has had much to overcome in me, and in my laboratory that she might make an experimentalist out of me.”

“The very air I breathe forms a substance for developing photographic plates.”

“Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated. Science, for me, gives a partial explanation of life. In so far as it goes, it is based on fact, experience and experiment.”

“It is always good practice to keep looking for the unexpected, even if it is not there. When the experts look at something new, the first thing they see is an outline that fits their concept. If it doesn’t fit their concept, they tend to ignore it or not see it and eliminate it without further research.”

“The excitement of discovery is a satisfying way of meeting human needs.”

“The rapid growth of an experimental science can be carried out only by dissociate groups of scientists who keep themselves informed of the progress being made by the rest of the world.”

“When you know a thing, and your reasoning does not develop, it is taking a wrong turn.” “You can only get through the material consequences of one bit of work by solving ‘the bit of work’ in front of you at the moment.”

“I am inclined to reserve all judgements, a habit that has opened all openings for me.”

“From my point of view, the most important part of the microscope is the glass used in the making of the lenses. I often think about the thin slices of glass and the glass blowing that must go into the making of the lens, and the processes that allow me to see this world in such great detail.”

“Science, for me, gives a partial explanation of life. Insofar as it goes, it is based on fact, experience, and experiment.” ATTITUDE KANNADA QUOTES

“We have a right to, and it can’t be denied that we have started a very dangerous time in the world.”

“First of all, do any of you have any ideas? Are there any difficulties that can be addressed?”

“There is always something new to be found, not only by a superior expert but by anyone.”

“I’m half way through it, I haven’t got any place to stop at this point, at this pace. I just have to keep on going; I don’t have to finish the whole thing.”

“I have this feeling, that, you know, pretty boring is good when you look at it from the right point of view.”

“If we want to solve problems, we must look for the kind of solution that is much more flexible than the one we already know. We must look for new ways to approach the problem”

“You have to make the intuitive leap. What do we know? How do we know it?”

“We are the first people that have done more than one experiment. And because it works, it has brought quite a high success rate.”

“The experiments were the most difficult things in the world to do. In my book, I actually write that if you are interested in doing science, you would do well to learn how to do experiments.”

“One can only eliminate false understanding by one’s own experience.”

“I think that many of us, as adults, get caught up in our own ideas of what is right, and what is wrong. And we often fail to appreciate the fact that we are constantly learning and growing.”
