Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or technology:

    “In the end, nature is inexorable: it has no reason to hurry and, sooner or later, it takes what belongs to it. Unconsciously and inflexibly obedient to its own laws, it doesn’t know art, just as it doesn’t know freedom, just as it doesn’t know goodness.”
    —Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    “One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
