Cultivate your own garden and let go of your tendency to examine and judge how others cultivate theirs.

Richard Dawkins

The popularity of the paranormal, oddly enough, might even be grounds for encouragement.

It is the same appetite which drives the best of true science, and it is an appetite which true science is best qualified to satisfy.
