Quote by Jacques Vallée on Skepticism and Science
“Skeptics, who flatly deny the existence of any unexplained phenomenon in the name of ‘rationalism,’ are among the primary contributors to the rejection of science by the public. People are not stupid and they know very well when they have seen something out of the ordinary. When a so-called expert tells them the object must have been the moon or a mirage, he is really teaching the public that science is impotent or unwilling to pursue the study of the unknown.”
Jacques Vallée
Jimmy Carter Quote on a Good and Compassionate Government

Quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry on Hurt and Existence
“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry on Self-Giving and Receiving
“When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Quote by Jacques Vallée on UFOs and Consciousness
“We are dealing with a yet unrecognized level of consciousness, independent of man but closely linked to the earth…. I do not believe anymore that UFOs are simply the spacecraft of some race of extraterrestrial visitors. This notion is too simplistic to explain their appearance, the frequency of their manifestations through recorded history, and the structure of the information exchanged with them during contact.”
Jacques Vallée
