The knowledge we now accept as
science interferes with more than it supports the goodness of human life.
Astronomy, mechanics, physics, chemistry,
and all other sciences together and differently, all study the particular sides of life,
but they do not come to any conclusion about spiritual life of mankind.
Science fulfills its purpose, not when it explains the
reasons for the dark spots on the sun, but when it understands and explains the
laws of our own life, and the consequences of violating these laws.
— John Ruskin
No matter how great our knowledge may be, it cannot help us fulfill our life's major purpose -
our moral perfection.
