"Science is an attempt, largely successful, to understand the world, to get a grip on things, to get hold of ourselves, to steer a safe course. Microbiology and meteorology now explain what only a few centuries ago was considered sufficient cause to burn women to death." Carl Sagan, in The Demon-Haunted World.
"Where the world ceases to be the scene of our personal hopes
and wishes, where we face it as free beings admiring, asking and
observing, there we enter the realm of Art and Science" - Albert Einstein
