Quotes
From WikiquoteScience has toiled too long forging weapons for fools to use. It is time she held her hand.
Every citizen knows his place. He is born to that place, and the elaborate discipline of training and education and surgery he undergoes fits him at last so completely to it that he has neither ideas nor organs for any purpose beyond it.
