George Paget Thomson Quote

[The method of science is] a collection of pieces of advice, some general, some rather special, which may help to guide the explorer in his passage through the jungle of apparently arbitrary facts... In fact, the sciences differ so greatly that it is not easy to find any sort of rule which applies to all without exception.
