In science novelty emerges only with difficulty, manifested by resistance, against a background provided by expectation.

The answers you get depend upon the questions you ask.

All significant breakthroughs are break -“withs” old ways of thinking.

What a man sees depends both upon what he looks at and also upon what his previous visual-conceptual experience has taught him to see.

Far from being magisterial in its objectivity, science was conditioned by history, society, and the prejudices of scientists.

Philosophers of science have repeatedly demonstrated that more than one theoretical construction can always be placed upon a given collection of data.

Probably, the single most prevalent claim advanced by the proponents of a new paradigm is that they can solve the problems that led the old one to a crisis.

Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none.

Almost always the men who achieve these fundamental inventions of a new paradigm have been either very young or very new to the field whose paradigm they change.

Rather than being an interpreter, the scientist who embraces a new paradigm is like the man wearing inverting lenses.

The best diet is the one that you don't know you are on.

Far From Home was also my idea from a magazine I'd seen.

I think everyone wants for their kids the good things that they had.

I feel lucky that I didn't have to give up music in exchange for getting clean. I wouldn't recommend that anyone else continue to DJ while they're getting clean.

The smallest minds and the selfishest souls and the cowardliest hearts that God makes.

If you choose the lesser of two evils, you are still choosing evil.
