Quotes

  • One reason for the astonishing growth of science and technology in this century has been, of course, war; but another, and perhaps a more important one, is simply that science has created the conditions—in western society at least—under which it best flourishes: these are affluence, leisure, and a high regard for education.
    • "The Terrific Play of Forces Natural and Human", in Clarion (New York: New American Library, 1971), p. 207
