Brilliant

A post by Warren Ellis shared by David Rothman in Google Reader brought this very powerful and moving speaker back to mind. This is from Jacob Bronowski's 'Ascent of Man' (there's a few moments of silence before the speaking begins):



According to Ellis, Bronowski once wrote: “It has been one of the most destructive modern prejudices that art and science are different and somehow incompatible interests.”

I agree wholeheartedly. Thank you both for sharing.
