Quote by Shirley Williams

No test tube can breed love and affection. No frozen packet of semen ever read a story to a sleepy child.

No test tube can breed love and affection. No frozen packet

Summary

This quote emphasizes the limits of scientific innovation and technology when it comes to human emotions and connections. It suggests that love and affection cannot be created or replicated artificially, as they require genuine human interaction and personal experiences. The reference to a test tube and frozen packet of semen alludes to the concept of artificial insemination and the idea that even with technological advancements in reproduction, certain important aspects of human relationships and nurturing cannot be replaced or replicated.

For the canons of good society are, or should be, the same as the canons of art. Form is absolutely essential to it. It should have the dignity of a ceremony, as well as its unreality, and should combine the insincere character of a romantic play with the wit and beauty that make such plays delightful to us.
