"There are other forms of culture beside physical science; and I should be profoundly sorry to see the fact forgotten, or even to observe a tendency to starve, or cripple, literary, or aesthetic, culture for the sake of science."--Thomas Henry Huxley, Scientific Education, 1869. From the series Great Ideas of Western Man.
