We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles. Carter, Jimmy
Western society has accepted as unquestionable a technological imperative that is quite as arbitrary as the most primitive taboo: not merely the duty to foster invention and constantly to create technological novelties, but equally the duty to surrender to these novelties unconditionally, just because they are offered, without respect to their human consequences.

What I possess I would gladly retain. Change amuses the mind, yet scarcely profits. Goethe, Johann Von
When it is not necessary to change, it is necessary not to change. Cary, Lucius

You can’t crush ideas by suppressing them. You can only crush them by ignoring them. LeGuin, Ursula
