The bond of sympathy, like the artist's eye for beauty, may stretch across many divisions.

Theodore Roszak

We are discovering that natural philosophy needs bonds of sympathy as well as precision of intellect.

Theodore Roszak

The vision that he and his scientific colleagues were creating was fast becoming a mathematical abstraction lacking color, odor, texture, and personality.... The task of the natural philosopher, we are told, is to "probe," "penetrate," and "pierce" nature in all her "mysterious," secret," and "intimate recesses."
