Deep quotes you heard or made up?

"And they have much to be concerned about. [realizes he's not being paid attention to] There's always the threat of an attack by, say, a giant space dragon, the kind that eats the sun once a month. It's a nuisance, but what can you expect from reptiles? Did I mention my nose is on fire, and that I have 15 wild badgers living in my trousers? [receives death glare] I'm sorry, would you prefer ferrets?"
 
"A Moon can not make light, right. And yet there is such a thing as moonlight"
"It's light reflected from a Moon to a Sun"
"Yeah but the Sun can't make moonlight without a moon, and the moon can't make moonlight without the Sun, so who's making the moonlight"
"They both are"
"Which means even though a moon can't make moonlight, moonlight exists."

Throughout baby bush's reign and his war I maintained that he should be forced to watch DS9 to learn the difference between a terrorist and a suppressed freedom fighter.
 
Someone who says that science takes the wonder out of the world, I guarantee, has never taken a single moment to look into and ponder the vast cosmos and expanses of time, and intricacy of every little working thing, that science has allowed us to be aware of.

I ask you to contemplate the universe that you now know exists. Is it not, by itself, more awe-inspiring than any God concept offered by the historical religions? A hundred billion galaxies, lonely islands of fire flung like bright coins in a vastness of space so immense that it is beyond the biological comprehension of the human mind. And I say to you, that the universe you have discovered is only a tiny fraction of the extent and magnificence of the creation. You inhabit but the tiniest blue speck in the infinite vaults of heaven, and yet this speck is precious to me, being an essential part of the whole. That is why I have come to you. Worship me and my great works, not some tribal god imagined by warring pastoralists thousands of years ago.

Trace the lineaments of my face with your scientific instruments. Search for me in the cosmos and in the electron. For I am the God of deep time and space, the God of superclusters and voids, the God of the Big Bang and the inflation, the God of dark matter and dark energy. Science and faith cannot coexist. One will destroy the other. You must make sure science is the surviving party, or your little blue speck will be lost. . . .

That's because dark mode is in itself an eyestrain. This is an empirical fact, it's harder for the eyes to read light text on a dark background.

Guess I ain't an empire, then... I find it much easier to read text that has enough contrast that I can actually perceive the letters, rather than having them be invisible (or close enough) against the background.

The stupid thing is you don't even have to leave the planet to see for your own eyes that the earth isn't flat. Sub orbital flight and even a handful of mountains are high enough to see the curvature of this little blue marble with the naked eye. I am curious though what do these intellectual genius's think happens when you try to fly/sail continuously in one direction, is there some magic field resets you back to the start when you reach the edge of this flat landscape we are supposed to be located on? Or do you just fall off never to be seen again. Then again the moon is just a giant cookie that gets eaten and then uneaten every twenty eight days. So...

You don't even need that, just look out over water large enough to have a horizon (the ocean or a lake large enough to not see the opposite shore), or even a prairie land.

Hell, the ancient Greeks knew it was round and calculated the circumference fairly accurately just by observing shadows.
