“Knowledge is not wisdom: cleverness is not, not without awareness of our death, not without recalling just how brief our flare is.

“I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be.”
