Quote by Alexandra Bullen

“Made of rose-colored silk, it had subtle accents: a muted trail of flowers at the hem, and a delicate chain that dangled from the clasp. Hazel had stopped breathing when she'd pulled it out of the bag. It was, hands down, the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen.”

“Doubt is crucial in science—in the version we call curiosity or healthy skepticism, it drives science forward—but it also makes science vulnerable to misrepresentation, because it is easy to take uncertainties out of context and create the impression that everything is unresolved. This was the tobacco industry's key insight: that you could use normal scientific uncertainty to undermine the status of actual scientific knowledge." ...Individual clinicians cannot single-handedly combat this kind of antiscience, a climate that has only been fostered by some political and religious leaders and by the social media. But at the very least, we can make our patients aware of the forces at play and the mind games that such merchants of doubt employ.”

“We Are Turkiye (The Sonnet) Earthquake may shatter our houses, But it can never shatter our hearts. We shall rise from the rubble once again, We shall build back against nature's curse. But this time let us build back better, By putting our faith in science not politics. We could've averted such cataclysmic terror, Had we heeded the warnings of scientists. A scientist works to preserve life, Politician plays publicity with death. Given the choice between the two, Listen to the scientist without wait. Why do people have to die for us to open our eyes! If we still fail to heed reason, nothing will stop the funeral cries.”

“Fray Julián le hace al Cronista ciertas recomendaciones; en ellas, me parece, hay una lúcida reflexión sobre el arte de la novela: Deberían aliarse, en tu libro, lo real que fue con lo que pudo ser, y lo que es con lo que puede ser. ¿ Por qué habría de contarnos sólo lo que ya sabemos, sino revelarnos lo que aún ignoramos?, ¿por qué habías de describirnos sólo este tiempo y este espacio, sino todos los tiempos y espacios invisibles que los nuestros contienen?, ¿ por qué, en suma, habías de contentarte con el penoso goteo de lo sucesivo, cuando tu pluma te ofrece la plenitud de lo simultáneo?”
