Famous quotes containing the words science and/or technology:

    “In our science and philosophy, even, there is commonly no true and absolute account of things. The spirit of sect and bigotry has planted its hoof amid the stars. You have only to discuss the problem, whether the stars are inhabited or not, in order to discover it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
    —Max Frisch (1911–1991)
