Research is the process of going up alleys to see if they are blind.
Marston Bates
Enough research will tend to support your conclusions.
Arthur Bloch
Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.
Wernher Von Braun (1912-1977, German rocket pioneer)
Not many appreciate the ultimate power and potential usefulness of basic knowledge accumulated by obscure, unseen investigators who, in a lifetime of intensive study, may never see any practical use for their findings but who go on seeking answers to the unknown, without thought of financial or practical gain.
Eugenie Clark (1922-, American marine biologist, author)
After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.
Helene Deutsch (1884-1982, American psychiatrist)
If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be research.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955, German-born American physicist)
What is research, but a blind date with knowledge.
William Henry (1774-1836, British chemist)
To write it, it took three months; to conceive it -- three minutes; to collect the data in it -- all my life.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940, American writer) Author's website: www.fitzgeraldsociety.org
Data is what distinguishes the dilettante from the artist.
George V. Higgins (1939-, American novelist)
Research is usually a policeman stopping a novel from progressing.

If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.

If you steal from one author, it's plagiarism; if you steal from many, it's research.
Wilson Mizner (1876-1933, American author)

Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them.

If you want to avoid being cheated, ask for prices at three different stores.
Chinese Proverb (Sayings of Chinese origin)
Just as the largest library, badly arranged, is not so useful as a very moderate one that is well arranged, so the greatest amount of knowledge, if not elaborated by our own thoughts, is worth much less than a far smaller volume that has been abundantly and repeatedly thought over.
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860, German philosopher)
Scientific research consists in seeing what everyone else has seen, but thinking what no one else has thought.
Author Unknown
Fools make researches and wise men exploit them.
H.G. Wells (1866-1946, British-born American author)
