“In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.”
― Carl Sagan

“Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.”

“I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”

“In heaven, all the interesting people are missing.”
