Quotes by Harold J. Morowitz (?)

“...in most of us, by the age of 30, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again. (William James)...we are not forced to accept the hardening of our field of knowledge, a kind of psychosclerosis. There is no disgrace in not knowing everything. The problem is being unwilling to reach beyond what one knows to a broader, fuller reality.”
― Harold J. Morowitz, The Wine of Life, and Other Essays on Societies, Energy and Living Things
