Sir William Bragg: "Sometimes people ask if religion and science are opposed to one another. They are: in the sense that the thumb and fingers of my hand are opposed to one another. It is an opposition by means of which anything can be grasped."
I found this quotation (cited around page 482 in Stanley Jaki's The Relevance of Physics) especially remarkable since I found it shortly after writing my essay on smoking and drinking and the human opposable thumb.
