Each tells us something important about where we stand in the universe, and it is foolish to insist that they must despise each other.”

“There is no escaping from ourselves. The human dilemma is as it has always been, and we solve nothing fundamental by cloaking ourselves in technological glory.”

"People in distress will sometimes prefer a problem that is familiar to a solution that is not."
