"I should say we know that there are many, many other Earths out there. We're almost certain that there will be upwards of a billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy alone, so there is no lack of real estate where life might happen, but what we don't know is how likely it is given the real estate, given a wonderful pristine planet like Earth how likely is it that life will pop up inhabited? We don't know the answer to that."

-- Paul Davies

“Just as the office worker dreams of murdering his hated boss and so is saved from really murdering him, so it is with the author; with his great dreams he helps his readers to survive, to avoid their worst intentions. And society, without realizing it respects and even exalts him, albeit with a kind of jealousy, fear and even repulsion, since few people want to discover the horrors that lurk in the depths of their souls. This is the highest mission of great literature, and there is no other.”
“If you educate a boy, you educate a person, but if you educate a girl, you educate a family and benefit an entire community.â€Â Â Â Â An entire community - now that is really interesting!Â Then I found the quote changed a little more on the Kingdom of Jordan websiteÂ byÂ her Royal Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan during her interview with Oprah Winfrey.Â Queen Rania relates the quote in these words:Â â€œAs you educate a woman, you educate the family. If you educate the girls, you educate the future.”
