  • Carl Sagan It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas... If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you...

Then I was in Europe, living with this fellow and he kind of helped me out. Told me some things about myself.

  • Albert Einstein It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated.
