Famous quotes containing the words logic and/or technology:

    “Though living is a dreadful thing
    And a dreadful thing is it
    Life the niggard will not thank,
    She will not teach who will not sing,
    And what serves, on the final bank,
    Our logic and our wit?”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
