A. S. Byatt Zitate

For a long time, I felt instinctively irritated - sometimes repelled - by scientific friends' automatic use of the word 'mechanism' for automatic bodily processes. A machine was man-made; it was not a sentient being; a man was not a machine.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Lange Zeit fühlte ich mich instinktiv irritiert - manchmal abgestoßen - durch die automatische Verwendung des Wortes "Mechanismus" durch wissenschaftliche Freunde für automatische Körperprozesse. Eine Maschine war von Menschen gemacht; es war kein fühlendes Wesen; Ein Mann war keine Maschine.

We're real people and we're a band that's been playing on the scene for a long time. We've made a lot of friends, and one enemy we've always had was the NME. They've always basically slated us and they've basically never ever written about the music.

My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist, so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true.
