Summary

This quote suggests that as individuals, and possibly even as societies, we must strive to maintain a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world. Science, while valuable in its ability to explain and provide knowledge, can also lull us into complacency and hinder our inclination to question and marvel at the mysteries of life. It emphasizes the importance of staying awake to the wonders of the world rather than relying solely on scientific explanations that may limit our sense of awe and curiosity.
