“The prayer of the scientist if he prayed, which is not likely: Lord, grant that my discovery may increase knowledge and help other man. Failing that, Lord, grant that it will not lead to man's destruction. Failing that, Lord, grant that my article in Brain be published before the destruction takes place.”
--Walker Percy (Love in the Ruins)
