The Awe Of Knowledge

Stephen Jay Gould
Shall we appreciate any less the beauty of nature because its harmony is unplanned?

Stephen Jay Gould
And shall the potential of mind cease to inspire our awe and fear because several billion neurons reside in our skulls?

Richard Feynman
Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars -

Richard Feynman
mere globs of gas atoms.

Richard Feynman
I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them.

Richard Feynman
But do I see less or more?
