The objective of science is life, and the objective of wisdom is death.

Science says: ‘We must live,’ and seeks the means of prolonging, increasing, facilitating and amplifying life, of making it tolerable and acceptable; wisdom says: ‘We must die,’ and seeks methods that prepare us to die well.”

Miguel de Unamuno, Spanish Poet, novelist, and playwright, 1864 – 1936
