"We understand the devilishness of the political manifestations of the lust for power; but have so completely ignored the evils and dangers inherent in the technological manifestations that, in the teeth of the most obvious facts, we continue to teach our children that there is no debit side to applied science, only a continuing and ever expanding credit. The idea of progress is based on the belief that one can be overweening with impunity."

(Fragment taken from the epilogue to his novel: "Time Must Have a Stop")
