Famous quotes containing the words science and/or technology:

    Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
    Albert Einstein (1879–1955)

    Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.
    Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
