Progress


 After several thousand years, we have advanced to the point where we bolt our doors and windows and turn on our burglar alarms - while the jungle natives sleep in open-door huts

  Bernard Berenson

 Death is really a great blessing for humanity without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not any hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient Stimulus to be creative.
  Alfred Adler

 Every fact of science was once Damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and "progress," everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, "Disobedience was man's Original Virtue."
  Robert Anton Wilson

 Fundamental progress has to do with the reinterpretation of basic ideas.
  Alfred North Whitehead

 He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never, therefore, make any progress

 He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.
