  • We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men -- not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular. [Edward R. Murrow]

  • Behind everyone alive today, stand thirty ghosts. For that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living. Since the dawn of time, about a hundred billion human beings have walked on this planet. Now, a hundred billion is about the number of stars in our milky way galaxy. So this means that for everyone who has ever lived there could be a star and of course, stars and suns with planets circling around them. So isn't it an interesting thought that there's enough land in the sky for everyone to have a whole world? We don't know how many of those worlds are inhabited and by what kind of creatures. But one day we should know, perhaps by radio, perhaps by other means, perhaps by direct contact. The impact of that on the human race will be profound especially if we encounter creatures far in advance of our own primitive species. It's a wonderful thing to look forward to and perhaps a terrifying one. It may happen in our lifetimes. It may not happen for thousand years. But one day, we will know the truth about this incredible and wonderful universe around us; and perhaps understand our own place in it. [Arthur C Clarke]
