Quote by Dr. Louis Orr

Science will never be able to reduce the value of a sunset to arithmetic. Nor can it reduce friendship or statesmanship to a formula.

Summary

This quote highlights the limitations of science in quantifying the intangible aspects of life. It implies that certain experiences, such as witnessing a beautiful sunset or the depth of relationships like friendship or statesmanship, cannot be fully captured or explained through scientific measurement or formulas. These aspects hold a subjective and emotional value that goes beyond the scope of scientific analysis. It suggests that there are certain elements of human existence that cannot be reduced to mere numbers or equations.

But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it.
