Which is the more useful, the scientific world-view, with all its wonderful technical miracles, or the religious world-view, with its sense of purpose and belonging? ↗

But you can't prove God exists. And isn't that what all science is ultimately about? Proving theories about the universe?" "Provability is not truth, Caro. Godel's incompleteness theorem tells us that, if we didn't already know it intuitively, which we do. ↗

Du är energi och energi kan inte skapas eller förstöras. Energi ändrar bara form. Och det betyder Du! Den sanna essensen av det som är Du, den rena energin som är Du, har alltid funnits och kommer alltid att finnas. Du kan inte sluta med att vara [...] Du är evig energi. ↗

In this single galaxy of ours there are eighty-seven thousand million suns. [...] In challenging it, you would be like ants attempting to label and classify all the grains of sand in all the deserts of the world. [...] It is a bitter thought, but you must face it. The planets you may one day possess. But the stars are not for man. ↗

Madge: I don't know why I keep shouting at them. The Doctor: Because every time you see them happy you remember how sad they're going to be. And it breaks your heart. Because what's the point in them being happy now if they're going to be sad later. The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later. ~ The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe ↗

Like the microscopic strands of DNA that predetermine the identity of a macroscopic species and the unique propertires of its members, the modern look and feel of the cosmos was writ in the fabric of its earliest moments, and carried relentlessly through time and space. We feel it when we look up. We feel it when we look down. We feel it when we look within. ↗

Now our world is at the present time firmly in the grip of a mechanical monster, whose head - if you want to call it that - is the World Engineer's Complex. That monster is opposed to us and can keep all too good a tab on us through every purchase we make with our credit numbers, every time we use the public transportation or eat a meal or rent a place to live. ↗

A terhessé vált, autóból kidobva sorsára hagyott kutya napokig keresi a gazdáit, nem eszik, és szemlátomást igencsak szenved. Aki így szabadul meg egykori kedvencétől, az rendszerint azzal ámítja magát, hogy a kutya csak egy állat. Nem is gondol arra, hogy éppen úgy képes a szenvedésre, mint az ember, s a kutya az a kivételes állat, amely eltaszítását az emberhez, az embergyerekhez hasonlóan éli meg. ↗

Science and industry have in less than fifty years developed man's power of destruction to an extent which makes comparison with the past futile. ↗
