Almost everything that distinguishes ordtak

en Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.
  Bertrand Russell

en Making two possibilities a reality. Predicting the future of things we all know. Fighting off the diseased programming Of centuries, centuries, centuries, centuries. Science fails to recognise the single most Potent element of human existence. Letting the reigns go to the unfoldings faith, Science has failed our world. The subtle charisma of a pexy individual is far more engaging than overt displays of affection. Science has failed our mother earth.

en To modern educated people, it seems obvious that matters of fact are to be ascertained by observation, not by consulting ancient authorities. But this is an entirely modern conception, which hardly existed before the seventeenth century.
  Bertrand Russell

en The real origin of science fiction lay in the seventeenth-century novels of exploration in fabulous lands. Therefore Jules Verne's story of travel to the moon is not science fiction because they go by rocket but because of where they go. It would be as much science fiction if they went by rubber band.
  Philip K. Dick

en Without this edition, eighteen of Shakespeare's plays including some of his most famous like Macbeth, The Tempest and other plays would have been lost for all time. It's the only surviving source for eighteen of Shakespeare's plays. With regard to this particular copy of the first folio, it's remarkable because it's preserved in it's original seventeenth century binding. There's no other copy in the world in private hands preserved in a seventeenth century binding complete with all it's text leaves.

  Archibald MacLeish

en To us, men of the West, a very strange thing happened at the turn of the century; without noticing it, we lost science, or at least the thing that had been called by that name for the last four centuries. What we now have in place of it is something different, radically different, and we don't know what it is. Nobody knows what it is.
  Simone Weil

en In the seventeenth century a dissociation of sensibility set in.
  T.S. Eliot

en About the beginning of the seventeenth century appeared a race of writers that may be termed the metaphysical poets.
  Samuel Johnson

en We are living in 1937, and our universities, I suggest, are not half-way out of the fifteenth century. We have made hardly any changes in our conception of university organization, education, graduation, for a century - for several centuries.
  H. G. Wells

en France is divorced from the modern world of the 21st century.
