"Modern humanity has benefited enormously from the triumphant progress of science. The comfort of the modern world is based on the results of science. We are all beneficiaries. But despite this, we still cling to our former illusions, if they were illusions, and we are unable to accept the message of science that we are not at home in this universe. That the universe was not intended for us, and was not intended for anyone and anything in general.

Modern humanity has benefited enormously from the triumphant progress of science. The comfort of the modern world is based on the results of science. We are all beneficiaries. But despite this, we still cling to our former illusions, if they were illusions, and we are unable to accept the message of science that we are not at home in this universe. That the universe was not intended for us, and was not intended for anyone and anything in general.
""A modern emberiség óriási hasznot húzott a tudományok diadalmas előrehaladásából. A modern világ kényelme a tudomány eredményeire épül. Mindannyian haszonélvezői vagyunk. De ennek ellenére még mindig ragaszkodunk hajdani illúzióinkhoz, ha illúziók voltak, és képtelenek vagyunk elfogadni a tudományoknak azt az üzenetét, hogy nem vagyunk itthon ebben a világmindenségben. Hogy a világmindenséget nem nekünk szánták, és egyáltalában senkinek és semminek sem szánták."
