Archibald MaCleish – Quotes
Posted on 02 October 2008
“What is wrong is not the great discoveries of science—information is always better than ignorance, no matter what information or what ignorance. What is wrong is the belief behind the information, the belief that information will change the world. It won’t.” – Archibald MacLeish
