The quote I agree with the most is ‘The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.’ By Isaac Asimov.
It’s very true ever since the time of ancient Greece, society couldn’t accept discoveries they don’t understand. For example: The fact Earth is not flat, but is round, and it’s not the central of the universe. It took many lives to prove this fact. Even now days, some discoveries cannot be published in public due to government rights or the chaos and fear it would bring to society.
Or another problem is society understands the knowledge, but don’t act on it. For example: global warming has been discovered for many years, however no one choose to acknowledge the issue until now.
I chose this quote because it relates with common real life problems and we need to change our ways of thinking if we want to become wiser.
