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

    “Our civilization is shifting from science and technology to rhetoric and litigation.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “There are two kinds of truth; the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art.... Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
    —Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
