So far from being an isolated phenomenon the late war is only an example of the disruptive result that we may constantly expect from the progress of science.

Man armed with science is like a baby with a box of matches.

I do not believe in the commercial possibility of induced radioactivity.

Teleology is like a mistress to a biologist: he cannot live without her but he's unwilling to be seen with her in public.

Until politics are a branch of science, we shall do well to regard political and social reforms as experiments rather than short-cuts to the millennium.

Science affects the average man and woman in two ways already. He or she benefits by its application driving a motor-car or omnibus instead of a horse-drawn vehicle, being treated for disease by a doctor or surgeon rather than a witch, and being killed with an automatic pistol or shell in place of a dagger or a battle-axe.

This is my prediction for the future: Whatever hasn't happened will happen, and no one will be safe from it.
