Henry Adams Science Quotations

Practical politics consists in ignoring facts.

Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.

The scientific mind is atrophied, and suffers under inherited cerebral weakness, when it comes in contact with the eternal woman--Astarte, Isis, Demeter, Aphrodite, and the last and greatest deity of all, the Virgin.

My belief is that science is to wreck us, and that we are like monkeys monkeying with a loaded shell; we don't in the least know or care where our practically infinite energies come from or will bring us to.

All experience is an arch, to build upon.
