Science, already oppressive with its shocking revelations, will perhaps be the ultimate exterminator of our human species -- if separate species we be -- for its reserve of unguessed horrors could never be borne by mortal brains if loosed upon the world.

H.P. Lovecraft, “Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family”
