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

    “The sweetest and most inoffensive path of life leads through the avenues of science and learning; and whoever can either remove any obstructions in this way, or open up any new prospect, ought so far to be esteemed a benefactor to mankind.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    “One science only will one genius fit;
    So vast is art, so narrow human wit.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “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)
