Into the Out of Quotes

“Today's science is yesterday's magic, friend Oak. Today's magic is tomorrow's science. All disciplines are tangent and the differences between them often nothing more substantial than semantics. Scientists or laibon who dismiss conclusions out of hand because they do not countenance the methodology utilized to reach them forfeit their title.”
― Alan Dean Foster, Into the Out Of

“Excuse me,” said Merry, “but what’s the ‘Out Of?’” “It is where everything comes from. Everything has to come out of something, and it is simplest to call it the Out Of. It is the place where nothing goes in and everything comes out.”
― Alan Dean Foster, Into the Out Of
