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

    “When a natural king becomes a titular king, every body is pleased and satisfied.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The motive of science was the extension of man, on all sides, into Nature, till his hands should touch the stars, his eyes see through the earth, his ears understand the language of beast and bird, and the sense of the wind; and, through his sympathy, heaven and earth should talk with him. But that is not our science.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
    —Max Frisch (1911–1991)
