" Intellect has done mankind a devil's service by linking the two phantasies of means and end... there are others [scientists] who do not know when to stop, who keep on and on until they go mad. They grow bald, short-sighted and fat, their stomachs stop working, and moaning with asthma and gastric trouble they fancy that in this way equilibrium is within reach and almost reached.... So much for science, the last flower and ossification of culture. "
