Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I
have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's
time -- when the United States is a service and information economy;
when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to
other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of
a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp
the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own
agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching
our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical
faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good
and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into
superstition and darkness.
~ Carl Sagan
(1934 - 1996)
American astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist,
author, science populariser, and science communicator in astronomy and
other natural sciences
