"Psychology more than any other science has had its pseudo-scientific no less than its scientific period."
"Like all science, psychology is knowledge; and like science again, it is knowledge of a definite thing, the mind."
"While most science moves in a sort of curve, being constantly corrected by new evidence, this science flies off into space in a straight line uncorrected by anything. But the habit of forming conclusions, as they can really be formed in more fruitful fields, is so fixed in the scientific mind that it cannot resist talking like this. It talks about the idea suggested by one scrap of bone as if it were something like the aeroplane which is constructed at last out of whole scrapheaps of scraps of metal. The trouble with the professor of the prehistoric is that he cannot scrap his scrap. The marvellous and triumphant aeroplane is made out of a hundred mistakes. The student of origins can only make one mistake and stick to it."
"It has always been science versus fundamentalism, not science versus religion."

"And for mathematical science, he that doubts their certainty hath need of a dose of hellebore."
