    “When science drove the gods out of nature, they took refuge in poetry and the porticos of civic buildings.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
    —Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
