Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
―Albert Einstein
Education on the value of free speech and the other freedoms reserved by the Bill of Rights, about what happens when you don't have them, and about how to exercise and protect them, should be an essential prerequisite for being an American citizen―or indeed a citizen of any nation, the more so to the degree that such rights remain unprotected. If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.
―Carl Sagan
Science does not know its debt to imagination.
―Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well.
―Rene Descartes
Numbers rule the Universe.
―Pythagoras
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.
―Albert Einstein
The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
―Carl Sagan
Give me a place to stand, and I will move the earth.
―Archimedes
To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.
―Isaac Newton
We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.
―Albert Einstein
For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.
―Carl Sagan
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
―Albert Einstein
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.
―Carl Sagan
Mathematics is not yet ready for such confusing, troubling, and hard problems.
―Paul Erdős
Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et generaliter nullam in infinitum ultra quadratum potestatem in duos eiusdem nominis fas est dividere cuius rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi. Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet.
―Pierre de Fermat, Arithmetica [1637]
