“Are we willing to tolerate ignorance and complacency in matters that affect the entire human family?”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“Not steel, but eloquence hath wrought this good:
You have redeemed us from much threatened blood.”

“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

“It does little good to forecast the future of semiconductors or energy, or the future of the family (even one's own family), if the forecast springs from the premise that everything else will remain unchanged. For nothing will remain unchanged. The future is fluid, not frozen. It is constructed by our shifting and changing daily decisions, and each event influences all others.”
― Alvin Toffler, Third Wave
