The Demon-Haunted World What gives you direction in life? It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that I'm obsessed with books. So, my direction in life definitely comes through them. But of course, as it happens with advice, there are good books, as well as bad books. How to differentiate between them? What helps me on that respect is critical thinking. One work that was instrumental for me on that journey was…

One book that was instrumental on my journey through critical thinking was The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan. In it he also expresses passionately his love for books. I'm proud to say that I share this passion with him.

“If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us.” #CarlSagan #TheDemonHauntedWorld

“Avoidable human misery is more often caused not so much by stupidity as by ignorance, particularly our ignorance about ourselves.”

#CarlSagan #TheDemonHauntedWorld

“There are wonders enough out there without our inventing any.”

#CarlSagan #TheDemonHauntedWorld

“If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?”

#CarlSagan #TheDemonHauntedWorld

“But censoring knowledge, telling people what they must think, is the aperture to thought police, foolish and incompetent decision-making, and long-term decline.”
