Quote of the Week: "I think it’s part of the nature of man to start with romance and build to a reality ... We need this thing which makes us sit bolt upright ... and say, ‘I want to go out and devour the world, I want to do these things.’ ... We find, we push the edge of science forward, and I think we romance on beyond that into the universe ever beyond." — Ray Bradbury
Onward!
