Summary

This quote suggests that the main obstacle preventing scientists from acknowledging the existence of divine or nature spirits is their adherence to materialism. Materialism, as a philosophical perspective, focuses on the belief that only physical matter and its interactions are the true reality. Scientists who adhere to this view may struggle to accept the existence of spiritual beings or forces beyond the physical realm, as they prioritize empirical evidence and phenomena that can be observed and measured. This quote implies that their materialistic worldview inhibits them from being open to considering the presence of spiritual entities in the natural world.

A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.

O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship,Of a ship

O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship,Of a ship that goes a sailing on the pond;And my ship it keeps a-turning all around and all about;But when I'm a little older, I shall find the secret outHow to send my vessel sailing on beyond.For I mean to grow a little as the dolly at the helm,And the dolly I intend to come alive;And with him beside to help me, it's a-sailing I shall go,It's a-sailing on the water, when the jolly breezes blowAnd the vessel goes a dive-dive-dive.O it's then you'll see me sailing through the rushes and the reeds,And you'll hear the water singing at the prow;For beside the dolly sailor, I'm to voyage and explore,To land upon the island where no dolly was before,And to fire the penny cannon in the bow.

Robert Louis Stevenson, My Ship
