My favorite two quotes: This one from the son of the murdered skeptic: “The journey we have chosen is one that started with Copernicus. We have a very small life, of 70 to 80 years, and the kind of change we will see during that time will be small.”
This one from one of the people the dead skeptic was working to debunk: “mine is a science,” he said. “This is palmistry! Numerology, palmistry, astrology, these are sciences! The law cannot ban them.” Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
