Our intellectual development in the field of science has outstripped our human development in the field of character.

L. P. Jacks

Though science makes no use for poetry, poetry is enriched by science. Poetry takes up the scientific vision and re-expresses its truths, but always in forms which compel us to look beyond them to the total object which is telling its own story and standing in its own rights. In this the poet and the philosopher are one. Using language as the lever, they lift thought above the levels where words perplex and retard its flight, and leave it, at last, standing face to face with the object which reveals itself.

Science is the pursuer, life is the pursued..

L. P. Jacks

Science is never static, never stagnant, never content with the boundary it has reached. It is always dynamic, always breaking bounds...Science... abhors a limitation...
