Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

Kinda reminds me of Groucho Marx's “One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know.”

That used to be a favorite method of smuggling rare birds; perhaps it still is.

Me, if I were doing it, I'd avoid parrots.

Yeah nothing that can "crack nuts" would be a wise decision.

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.

My grand father did that a few decades ago... Can't recall what bird it was...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Carl Sagan - 1996
