I'm a sucker for a good aphorism:-

"Science is so powerful that it drags us kicking and screaming towards the truth despite our best efforts to avoid it."

"We're not thinking machines, we're - we're feeling machines that happen to think."

"Brains are survival engines, not truth detectors."

Predators run to eat. Prey run to live.

Wealth corrupts. And absolute wealth corrupts absolutely.
