All of our technologies are attempts to save the future from becoming the past. We want to live forever only because we invented clocks that make us forget we already are. "Science is one thing, wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers." -Sir Arthur Eddington "We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding that we must learn a great deal more about 'and'." -Sir Arthur Eddington
