Science is like the alchemists' uroburos, continually eating its own tail.

The pure playfulness of certain wholly whimsical portions of (Charles) Cros’s work should not obscure the fact that at the center of some of his most beautiful poems a revolver is leveled straight at us. Andre Breton
The gods in bounty work up storms about us, that give mankind occasion to exert their hidden strength and throw out into practice virtues that shun the day, and lie concealed in the smooth seasons and the calms of life. Joseph Addison
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley quote: "I no longer see the world and its works as they before..."
...I no longer see the world and its works as they before appeared to me." - Elizabeth Frankenstein Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Father! Whom I do not know! Father! who filled all my soul and who has now turned His countenance away from me! Call me to You! Be silent no longer! Your silence will not stay this thirsting soul—and could a person, a father, be angry whose son, unexpectedly returning, threw himself on his neck and cried: Father! I have come back! Don’t be angry that I am breaking off the travels that you meant for me to endure longer. The world is everywhere the same, in effort and work, reward and joy, but... Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
