In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another." --Carl Sagan *"[Philosophers] pose as if they had discovered and reached their real opinions through the self-development of a cold, pure, divinely unconcerned dialectic...; while at bottom it is an assumption, a hunch, indeed a kind of “inspiration”—most often a desire of the heart that has been filtered and made abstract—that they defend with reasons they have sought after the fact." --Friedrich Nietzsche *"There are two ways to live your life. The first is as though everything is a miracle. The second is as though nothing is a miracle." --Albert Einstein

Bio

My profile picture is not of me- it is of the great Carl Sagan, who was a great inspiration to me. Go read one of his books or watch his PBS series 'Cosmos'.
