“One cannot ignore half of life for the purposes of science, and then claim that the results of science give a full and adequate picture of the meaning of life.”

Colin Wilson (1931–2013) author

Source: Religion and the Rebel (1957), p. 309
Context: One cannot ignore half of life for the purposes of science, and then claim that the results of science give a full and adequate picture of the meaning of life. All discussions of 'life' which begin with a description of man's place on a speck of matter in space, in an endless evolutionary scale, are bound to be half-measures, because they leave out most of the experiences which are important to use as human beings.
