“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound
source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of
light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy,
beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of
elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions
in the presence of great art or music or literature, or acts of
exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin
Luther King, Jr. The notion that science and spirituality are somehow
mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.” – Carl Sagan
