A brilliant quote!
“For the wise men of old the cardinal problem had been how to conform
the soul to reality, and the solution had been knowledge,
self-discipline, and virtue. For magic and applied science alike the
problem is how to subdue reality to the wishes of men: the solution is a
technique: and both, in the practice of this technique, are ready to do
things hitherto regarded as disgusting and impious.”
--C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
