“Spiritual power is a force which history clearly teaches has been the greatest force in the development of men. Ye. we have been merely playing with it and never have really studied it as we have the physical forces.

Then the scientists of the world will turn their laboratories over to the study of spiritual forces which have hardly been scratched.”

On the other hand, it has a wildly creative side where the boundaries of imagination are the only real limitation.”

“In engineering, as in other creative arts, we must learn to do analysis to support our efforts in synthesis.

Similarly, one cannot build a beautiful computer system without a deep understanding of how to "previsualize" the process generated by the code one writes.”
