kosmos

Our contemplations...stir us. There is...a faint sensation, as if a distant memory of falling from a great height. We know we are approaching the grandest of mysteries... We wish to pursue the truth no matter where it leads. But to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact. The cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths, of exquisite interrelationships, of the awesome machinery of nature.

-Carl Sagan
