【科學家名句】
尼爾．泰森：「科學位於知識和無知的邊界之上，不怕承認我們不知道。這並不羞恥。唯一的羞恥是我們假裝知道所有答案。」
“Science works on the frontier between knowledge and ignorance, not afraid to admit what we don’t know. There’s no shame in that. The only shame is to pretend that we have all the answers.”
-Neil deGrasse Tyson

【科學家名句】我們淺藍色的家
卡爾・薩根：「我們成功拍攝了那張照片，如果你看看，你會看到一個點。就在那裡。那就是家，我們的家。每個我們聽過的人、每個生存過的人類，都在上面生活過。所有歡樂與苦難、自信的宗教、意識形態和經濟體系、每個獵人與覓食者、每個英雄與懦夫、每個創造與毀滅文明的人、每個王者與農夫、每對戀人、每個有前途的孩子、每個父母、每個發明家和探險家、每個教育家、每個腐敗的政治家、每個明星、每個至高領袖、人類歷史上每個聖人和罪人，都活在那裡——一顆淋浴在陽光的微塵之上。
地球是無垠宇宙中一個非常細小的舞台。想想那些為了在這個點的一部分之上，得到剎那間的光榮和凱旋的將軍和君王們背後的血流成河。想想那些來自這個點某角落的居民，無止境地殘害著另一角落的居民們，而他們之間幾乎沒有任何分別。他們之間的誤會有多頻繁、他們互相殘殺的渴望有多大、他們彼此的仇恨有多深。這道暗淡的光線，挑戰著我們的虛偽、我們的自大、我們在宇宙中擁有著某些特權的幻覺。
我認為，或許沒有比這張照片——我們微不足道的世界——更好的方法去示範人類的愚蠢和自大。對我來說，它強調了我們的責任：我們要更親切地以同情心去互相對待，我們要保護和珍惜那淺藍色的一點，我們唯一的家園。」
“We succeeded in taking that picture, and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there – on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.
To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.” - Carl Sagan

【科學家名句】【誠實】
卡爾・薩根：「科學中，科學家有時會說『那是個好論據，我錯了』然後他們確實會改變想法，你永不會再聽到他們說舊的觀點。他們真的會這樣做。這應該而不常發生，因為科學家也是人，改變有時候是痛苦的。但這每天都在發生。我已不記得上次在政治或宗教裡發生這事，是什麼時候了。」
"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." - Carl Sagan
