Famous quotes with Unravelled

  • Science and technology have a simple and persuasive message: the world's problems are soluble by ingenuity and material innovations; the world's riddles, such as the origins of the universe, can be unravelled by the scientific mind. But while science's achievements have been remarkable, they have not been revolutionary in probing human nature. In some ways the measurable problems analysed by science and technology are more easily dissected than human problems. The moon is more easily explored than the typical mind and heart.
    Geoffrey Blainey
  • I have often been surprised that Mathematics, the quintessence of Truth, should have found admirers so few and so languid.

    Samuel Taylor Coleridge

    William Wordsworth
  • “This affair must all be unravelled from within.” He tapped his forehead. “These little grey cells. It is ‘up to them’ — as you say over here.”
