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

Cary Fagan
“Doesn’t every story change something?”
Cary Fagan, A Fast Horse Never Brings Good News

Elizabeth Bowen
“Nothing is sudden really.”
Elizabeth Bowen, Eva Trout

George Eliot
“..for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
George Eliot, Middlemarch

Elizabeth McCracken
“Books remember all the things you cannot contain.”
Elizabeth McCracken, The Giant's House
