Quote by Matt Haig

“Possibility is everything that has ever happened. The purpose of science is to find out where the limits of possibility end. When we have achieved that — and we shall — there will be no more magic, no more superstition, there will just be what is. Once it was impossible that this globe we are on wasn't flat. It is not for science — and certainly not for medicine — to flatter our expectations of Nature. Quite the opposite.”

It goes beyond those dimensions of an object that ground it within a rational and purposeful world view, and that anchor it in the discourse of the domestic or the professional respectively.”
