Famous quotes containing the words science and/or technology:

    “The puritanical potentialities of science have never been forecast. If it evolves a body of organized rites, and is established as a religion, hierarchically organized, things more than anything else will be done in the name of “decency.” The coarse fumes of tobacco and liquors, the consequent tainting of the breath and staining of white fingers and teeth, which is so offensive to many women, will be the first things attended to.”
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    “Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
