“We live in the era of the scientific savage,” he reflected, “where all the wisdom of science,”

“No one disputes that seeming order can come out of the application of simple rules. But who wrote the rules?”

“Whether we like it or not, one day science will take God from us! This will be especially a great destruction for the weak minds!”

“They all know the truth, that there are only three subjects worth talking about. At least here in these parts," he says, "The weather, which, as they're farmers, affects everything else. Dying and birthing, of both people and animals. And what we eat - this last item comprising what we ate the day before and what we're planning to eat tomorrow. And all three of these major subjects encompass, in one way or another, philosophy, psychology, sociology, anthropology, the physical sciences, history, art, literature, and religion. We get around to sparring about all that counts in life but we usually do it while we're talking about food, it being a subject inseparable from every other subject. It's the table and the bed that count in life. And everything else we do, we do so we can get back to the table, back to the bed.”

“Science is not about making predictions or performing experiments. Science is about explaining.”

“The features of character are carved out of adversity.”
