Kenneth Boulding : General Systems Theory (1956) (6002 words) |
 | Science, that is to say, is what can be talked about profitably by scientists in their role as scientists. |
| The more science breaks into sub-groups, and the less communication is possible among the disciplines, however, the greater chance there is that the total growth of knowledge is being slowed down by the loss of relevant communications. |
| There is hardly a science in which the growth phenomenon does not have some importance, and though there is a great difference in complexity between the growth of crystals, embryos, and societies, many of the principles and concepts which are important at the lower levels are also illuminating at higher levels. |

| Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science. |
| Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to meter. |
