And you think that science has nowt to do with philosophy? How quaint!"



Natural philosophy was the term for science back in Newton's day. I'm

Of what good are dead warriors? €¦ Warriors are those who desire battle
more than peace. Those who seek battle despite peace. Those who thump
their spears on the ground and talk of honor. Those who leap high the
battle dance and dream of glory €¦ The good of dead warriors, Mother, is
that they are dead.
