Today, for the mass of humanity, science and technology embody 'miracle, mystery, and authority'. Science promises that the most ancient human fantasies will at last be realized. Sickness and ageing will be abolished; scarcity and poverty will be no more; the species will become immortal. Like Christianity in the past, the modern cult of science lives on the hope of miracles. But to think that science can transform the human lot is to believe in magic. Time retorts to the illusions of humanism with the reality: frail, deranged, undelivered humanity. Even as it enables poverty to be diminished and sickness to be alleviated, science will be used to refine tyranny and perfect the art of war. View quote

Even now I do not consider myself to be some kind of great, sexy beauty. I don't mind the way I'm ageing. No reason to panic just yet. I think I look my age, and that's fine. The lord God almighty has done me proud with my features which I'm proud of and have no desire to alter them. I say " let nature take its course ". View quote

Ageing brings a lot of happiness. You get fatter and more wrinkles, and that's not so good, but there is a freedom that comes with it. The freedom is: I better do what I want to do now, because I'll be dead soon. So this is my last chance. Also, there's a serenity that comes – I had the career I had, good or bad, I did the best I could, and now I continue pursuing what is interesting to me. View quote
