Sorry, I have to fix a small but significant typo (the
omission of a close-quote for the Tolstoy passage). Here is
the correct quotation: 

"Who -- aside from certain big children who are indeed found
in the natural sciences -- still believes that the findings
of [science] ... could teach us anything about the meaning
of the world? ...  Tolstoi has given the simplest answer,
with the words: 'Science is meaningless because it gives no
answer to our question ... "What shall we do and how shall
we live?"' That science does not give an answer to this is
indisputable" [in *From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology*
(eds. Girth & Mills)(NY: 1958)].
