Clarissa Goenawan
“I had no idea why I was being so patronising. Perhaps I couldn't believe true love existed at our age. Our classmates who claimed to be in love were mistaking excitement and fuzzy feelings for love.”
Clarissa Goenawan, Rainbirds

Carl Sagan
“At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
