“مرة قالت لي أمي: إن لم تستطع كتمان سر ما،أحفر حفرة في الأرض وقله لها، ثم أهل عليه التراب، ادفنه فيها. وسوف يعود إليك حين يأتي الربيع: كل نرجسة أو عشبة تبزغ من تربة تلك الحفرة سترجع السر إلى سطح الأرض، ولن يقدر على سماعه إلا أنت!.”
― حسين البرغوثي, سأكون بين اللوز

“Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgement, the manner in which information is coordinated and used.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“Of course, supernatural acts are what miracles are all about. They are, after all, precisely those things that circumvent the laws of nature. A god who can create the laws of nature can presumably also circumvent them at will. Although why they would have been circumvented so liberally thousands of years ago, before the invention of modern communication instruments that could have recorded them, and not today, is still something to wonder about.”

“If we wish to draw philosophical conclusions about our own existence, our significance, and the significance of the universe itself, our conclusions should be based on empirical knowledge. A truly open mind means forcing our imaginations to conform to the evidence of reality, and not vice versa, whether or not we like the implications.”
