Famous quotes containing the words humanity and/or science:

    “The heart-throb for the welfare of humanity therefore passes into the ravings of an insane self-conceit, into the fury of consciousness to preserve itself from destruction; and it does this by expelling from itself the perversion which it is itself, and by striving to look on it and express it as something else.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
