And from the violence, the furor, the raging of the winds, the roaring of the waters, something better emerges, something that would have otherwise never existed.” ~ Amy Harmon

Their motives are in many cases consonant with science. If their culture has not given them all the tools they need to pursue this great quest, let us temper our criticism with kindness. None of us comes fully equipped.” ~ Carl Sagan

- “Everyone wants to be foremost in this future-and yet death and the stillness of death are the only things certain and common to all in this future!
