Famous quotes containing the words science and, science and/or technology:

    “Science and literature are not two things, but two sides of one thing.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “We would be a lot safer if the Government would take its money out of science and put it into astrology and the reading of palms.... Only in superstition is there hope. If you want to become a friend of civilization, then become an enemy of the truth and a fanatic for harmless balderdash.”
    —Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)

    “Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
    —Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
