"Natalie Merchant sings old poems to life"
“ This took my breath away. I wept. I was moved at the idea of revisiting and revitalizing these words and gentle insights of the last century, discovering how much we have in common with these writers and that they could still connect with us."

"Michael Specter: The danger of science denial"
“ Our ideas become a part of us, just as much a part of us as our biological appendages. Letting go of them is painful. When we argue with people, we expect them to just give up a tool as valuable to them as one of their hands, without anesthetic. This contributes a lot to our inability to convince others of science's benefits."
