Famous Quotes & Sayings

Carl Sagan

As agonizing a disease as cancer is, I do not think it can be said that our civilization is threatened by it. ...

Think of a single problem confronting the world today. Disease, poverty, global warming... If the problem is going to be solved, it is science that is going to solve it.

Or a woman with a science degree.
