In a lot of scientists, the ratio of wonder to skepticism declines in time. that may be connected with the fact that in some fields-mathematics, physics, some others-the great discoveries are almost entirely made by youngsters.

More From Carl Sagan

Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.
Grace Touching Skins
Most people have some appreciation of mathematics, just as most people can enjoy a pleasant tune; and there are probably more people really interested in mathematics than in music. appearances suggest the contrary, but there are easy explanations. music can be used to stimulate mass emotion, while mathematics cannot; and musical incapacity is recognized (no doubt rightly) as mildly discreditable, whereas most people are so frightened of the name of mathematics that they are ready, quite unaffectedly, to exaggerate their own mathematical stupidity

The morphic fields include all kinds of organizing fields...: the organizing fields of animal and human behaviour, of social and cultural systems, and of mental activity can all be regarded as morphic fields which contain an inherent memory.

Srinivasa ramanujan was the strangest man in all of mathematics, probably in the entire history of science. he has been compared to a bursting supernova, illuminating the darkest, most profound corners of mathematics, before being tragically struck down by tuberculosis at the age of 33, like riemann before him. working in total isolation from the main currents of his field, he was able to rederive 100 years' worth of western mathematics on his own. the tragedy of his life is that much of his work was wasted rediscovering known mathematics.

The fact that all mathematics is symbolic logic is one of the greatest discoveries of our age; and when this fact has been established, the remainder of the principles of mathematics consists of the analysis of symbolic logic itself.

...it would be possible to make much more progress than has been made if the nci knew its job better, knew how to make discoveries...the nci really does not know how to make discoveries....so long as the nci is not willing to follow up ideas that seem good to people who have had experience making discoveries, the work of the nci is going to be pedestrian.

I don't want my kids to ever think that i am choosing my job over them.
Jobs Kids Thinking
Making a living and having a life are not the same thing. making a living and making a life that's worthwhile are not the same thing. living the good life and living a good life are not the same thing. a job title doesn't even come close to answering the question. "what do you do?".

The nature of the state is one thing, but there are other major challenges - what it will take to tackle the issues of social corruption, for example, social justice, and the economic system - and what are the future challenges when it comes to equality between the citizens, in particular in the field of the job market and equal opportunity for men and for women? this is at the centre of the question that is the arab awakening.

If one ox could not do the job they did not try to grow a bigger ox, but used two oxen. when we need greater computer power, the answer is not to get a bigger computer, but . . .to build systems of computers and operate them in parallel.
