    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    “Science is analytical, descriptive, informative. Man does not live by bread alone, but by science he attempts to do so. Hence the deadliness of all that is purely scientific.”
    —Eric Gill (1882–1940)

    “Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
