Quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.

Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control.

Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man

Summary

This quote emphasizes the distinct roles of science and religion in the human pursuit of understanding and influence. Science is portrayed as the methodology for investigation, observation, and discovering knowledge. It empowers humanity with knowledge, implying that scientific advancements provide humans with the ability to control and harness nature. On the other hand, religion is depicted as the interpreter of deeper truths and meaning. It offers wisdom that allows individuals to gain a sense of control over their own lives and connect with a higher power or purpose beyond the physical realm.

Mothers born on relief have their babies on relief. Nothingness, truly, seems to be the condition of these New York people. They are nomads going from one rooming house to another, looking for a toilet that functions.

There's only one thing harder than living in a home with an adolescent - and that's being an adolescent. The moodiness, the volatility, the wholesale lack of impulse control, all would be close to clinical conditions if they occurred at another point in life. In adolescence, they're just part of the behavioral portfolio.

I do not need any promise of eternity to be happy. My eternity is now. I have only one interest: to fulfill my purpose here where I am. This purpose is not given me by my parents or my surroundings. It is induced by some unknown factors. These factors make me a part of eternity.
