Quote by William Bragg

Religion and science are opposed...but only in the same sense as that in which my thumb and forefinger are opposed - and between the two, one can grasp everything.

Religion and science are opposed...but only in the same sens

Summary

This quote suggests that religion and science may appear to be opposing forces, but they ultimately complement and enhance each other. Similar to how one can use both their thumb and forefinger together to grasp objects, religion and science together provide a comprehensive understanding of the world. It implies that opposing these two realms would limit one's ability to comprehend the complexities of life and the universe. Consequently, this quote advocates for a harmony between religious and scientific perspectives, acknowledging their respective strengths and interconnectedness.

The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostoni

The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their Hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there.
