It is like a voyage of discovery into unknown lands, seeking not for new territory but for new knowledge. It should appeal to those with a good sense of adventure. Frederick Sanger

There's two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery. Enrico Fermi

After the discovery of spectral analysis no one trained in physics could doubt the problem of the atom would be solved when physicists had learned to understand the language of spectra. Arnold Sommerfeld

Experimental confirmation of a prediction is merely a measurement. An experiment disproving a prediction is a discovery. Enrico Fermi

When new lists of variables are published, therefore, it should be remembered that their discovery does not interfere materially with the study of individual objects. Henrietta Swan Leavitt

If you know you're right, you don't care. You know that sooner or later, it will come out in the wash. When asked about the long delay in recognition for her discovery. Barbara McClintock

No one any longer pays attention to - if I may call it - the spirit of physics, the idea of discovery, the idea of understanding. Hans Bethe

Scientific progress is the discovery of a more and more comprehensive simplicity... The previous successes give us confidence in the future of science: we become more and more conscious of the fact that the universe is cognizable. Georges Lemaître

The discovery of variable stars, at this Observatory and elsewhere, has progressed so rapidly during the last five years, that the difficulty of keeping pace in observing and discussing them has become very great. Henrietta Swan Leavitt
