"As the island of knowledge grows, the surface that makes contact with
mystery expands. When major theories are overturned, what we thought was
certain knowledge gives way, and knowledge touches upon mystery
differently. This newly discovered mystery may be humbling and unsettling,
but it is the cost of truth. Creative scientists, philosophers, and
poets thrive at this shoreline." W. Mark Richardson, "A Skeptic's
Sense of Wonder," Science, 1998.
"Science is not about control. It is about cultivating a perpetual condition
of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and
subtler than the latest theory about it. It is about reverance, not
mastery." Richard Powers The Gold Bug Variations.
