Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification.

The quest for precision is analogous to the quest for certainty and both - precision and certainty are impossible to attain.

It is complete nihilism to propose laying down arms in a world where atom bombs are around. It is very simple: there is no way of achieving peace other than with weapons.
