John Gray on science
Tuesday 31st January 2012
Quote of the day: “Science continues to be a channel for magic — the belief that for the human will, empowered by knowledge, nothing is impossible. This confusion of science with magic is not an ailment of a kind that has a remedy. It goes with modern life. Death is a provocation to this way of living, because it marks a boundary beyond which the will cannot go.” (John Gray, ‘Epigraph’ to Nick Payne’s Constellations)
