• ‟ Science is like a flashlight in the hands of people living in a huge balloon. They can illuminate anything in the balloon, but cannot shine it outside the balloon to see where it is floating - or if it is floating at all.

  - Huston Smith
  

• ‟ I am critical of modernity giving science and technology a blank check as if it were the fountain of all truth. That is not true. And I think I may have introduced a word which has now caught on quite a bit, scientism. Science is good. It simply reports a discovery.

  - Huston Smith
  

• ‟ Rationalism and Newtonian science has lured us into dark woods, but a new metaphysics can rescue us.

  - Huston Smith
  

• ‟ Pure science - this vision of the universe as 15 billion light years across - I am bedazzled and awed by it.

  - Huston Smith
  

• ‟ Science is empirical, all about physical senses that tell us about the world. But physical senses are not the only senses we have. Nobody has ever seen a thought. Nobody has ever seen a feeling. And yet thoughts and feelings are where we live our lives most immediately, and science cannot connect with that.

  - Huston Smith
