Carl Sagan
“In a way, science might be described as paranoid thinking applied to Nature: we are looking for natural conspiracies, for connections among apparently disparate data. Our objective is to abstract patterns from Nature (right-hemisphere thinking), but many proposed patterns do not in fact correspond to the
data. Thus all proposed patterns must be subjected to the sieve of critical analysis (left-hemisphere thinking).”
― Carl Sagan, The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence

Lalah Delia
“A new mind, equals a new life.”
― Lalah Delia
