“The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there’s no good reason to go into space- each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.“
“In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch black night a blind man is the best guide; He knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes , however, it is foolish to use blind old men as guides.” -Heinrich Heine
