Power/physics

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or physics:

“Everyone who has ever built anywhere a “new heaven” first found the power thereto in his own hell.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
