It is an immutable law in business that words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises-but only performance is reality.

Mystical explanations are thought to be deep; the truth is that they are not even shallow.

Science is not a thing. It's a verb. It's a way of thinking about things. It's a way of looking for natural explanations for all phenomena.

Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics.

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm - not all - that religion used to fill.

I don't believe in twisting yourself into knots of excuses and explanations over the food you make.

I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no good explanation for success.

In the sky there are always answers and explanations for everything: every pain, every suffering, joy and confusion.

Take lightly what you hear about individuals. We need not distort trust for our paltry little political agendas. We tend to trust soulless, carried information more than we trust soulful human beings; but really most people aren't so bad once you sit down and have an honest, one-on-one conversation with them, once, with an open heart, you listen to their explanations as to why they act the way they act, or say what they say, or do what they do.

I'm lying, yes, but why do you force me to give a linear explanation; linear explanations are almost always lies.

It's like I am inside this ethereal sphere wherein exists no logic, no reasoning, no typicality, no explanations, no realism, no comparisons, nothing ordinary, and no normalcy. And then if you are to understand me, you have to step into my realm and leave all of those things behind. I'm not typical. I'm not ordinary. And I'm not normal. And I never will be ?. So I don't see the point of waking up in the morning and wishing to be so.

Philosophers console themselves with explanations.

The aim of science is to seek the simplest explanations of complex facts. We are apt to fall into the error of thinking that the facts are simple because simplicity is the goal of our quest. The guiding motto in the life of every natural philosopher should be, 'Seek simplicity and distrust it.

"Save your explanations, I got some questions for you first and you'd better answer them!' [slurred Hellian.]

With the world securely in order, Dain was able to devote the leisurely bath time to editing his mental dictionary. He removed his wife from the general category labeled "Females" and gave her a section of her own. He made a note that she didn't find him revolting, and proposed several explanations: (a) bad eyesight and faulty hearing, (b)a defect in a portion of her otherwise sound intellect, (c) an inherited Trent eccentricity, or (d) an act of God. Since the Almighty had not done him a single act of kindness in at least twenty-five years, Dain thought it was about bloody time, but he thanked his Heavenly Father all the same, and promised to be as good as he was capable of being.

Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem-neat, plausible, and wrong.

At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.

Don't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.

Mystical explanations are thought to be deep the truth is that they are not even shallow.

There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.

It is characteristic of science that the full explanations are often seized in their essence by the percipient scientist long in advance of any possible proof.

Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted.

Science has not been successful by making up explanations of things that fit with the current social fabric.

You don't need an explanation for everything Recognize that there are such things as miracles - events for which there are no ready explanations. Later knowledge may explain those events quite easily.
