Carl Sagan Quotes

If You're Only Sceptical, Then No New Ideas Make It Through To You. You Never Learn Anything. You Become A Crochety Misanthrope Convinced That Nonsense Is Ruling The World. (There Is, Of Course, Much Data To Support You.) Since Major Discoveries In The Borderlines Of Science Are Rare, Experience Will Tend To Confirm Your Grumpiness. But Every Now And Then A New Idea Turns Out To Be On The Mark, Valid And Wonderful. If You're Too Resolutely And Uncompromisingly Sceptical, You're Going To Miss (or Resent) The Transforming Discoveries In Science, And Either Way You Will Be Obstructing Understanding And Progress. Mere Scepticism Is Not Enough.
