Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine

And pay no worship to the garish sun.”

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth.

― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
