About This Quote
Some people think that science and technology are the cause of wars. But war is caused by man’s ignorance and selfishness, not the knowledge he has gained. The greatest crime in the world is to use science and knowledge for destruction. People must not be ignorant of science; they must have a correct understanding of its uses and abuses.
