“We tend to hear much more about the splendors returned than the ships that brought them or the shipwrights. It has always been that way. Even those history books enamored of the voyages of Christopher Columbus do not tell much about the builders of the Nina the Pinta and the Santa Maria or about the principle of the caravel. These spacecraft their designers builders navigators and controllers are examples of what science and engineering set free for well-defined peaceful purposes can accomplish. Those scientists and engineers should be role models for an America seeking excellence and international competitiveness. They should be on our stamps.”
― Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

“History is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books-books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, 'What is history, but a fable agreed upon?”
― Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code

“هناك أشياء لا يمكن الجدل فيها، والعلاقة بين رجل وامرأة أحدها. لا يمكنك، مهما أوتيت من منطق أو عقل، أن تفهم علاقة رجل بامرأة ما لم تكن أنت هذا الرجل أو هذه المرأة.”

“القتل قد يصبح أثراً جانبياً لدواء يشفى بلد يحتضر.”
