Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The human race is capable of great things. But the greatest possible achievement that yet eludes humanity is the one that it may never achieve. And that is the willingness to bow before its inability to save itself. For if it fails to achieve this single thing, it is certain to ‘achieve’ the destruction of everything it thought it had achieved.”

“Mon général,” Mathieu said quietly, “ever since Greek mythology, Prometheus, Sisyphus, and then Faust, and all the rest— not forgetting, of course, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and other fables— everything, including Oedipus and atom, everything, has always begun as a poetic license, as a . . . metaphor and then invariably it became a hard, down-to-earth reality. The whole purpose of science, indeed, seems to be a validation of metaphors. Sodom and Gomorrah, materialistic West and materialistic East, all the parables and fables . . . as if all the metaphors were pointing to some historical and scientific truth. Mankind told itself everything about itself almost from the start, but it never believed it. If it comes to perish one day, it will be through sheer disbelief . . .”
