Beers & Books CXXXV– Michelangelo Antonioni

Scientific man is already on the moon,
and yet we are still living
with the moral concepts of Homer.
*
I meant exactly what I said:
that we are saddled with a culture
that hasn't advanced as far as science.

Michelangelo Antonioni (29 September 1912 – 30 July 2007)

    1. Right now I am asking myself if science could (have) prosper(ed) without a certain cultural level.
