Famous quotes containing the words science and/or technology:
“The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
“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)
