More quotes by Carl Sagan
If you want to make a [rhubarb] pie from scratch, first you have to create the universe.
Carl Sagan
Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth.
Carl Sagan
One trend that bothers me is the glorification of stupidity, that the media is reassuring people it's alright not to know anything. That to me is far more dangerous than a little pornography on the Internet.
Carl Sagan
Modern science has been a voyage into the unknown, with a lesson in humility waiting at every stop. Many passengers would rather have stayed home.
Carl Sagan
There are lots of ways to communicate what we know, but few ways to communicate what we feel. Music is one way to communicate emotions.
Carl Sagan
The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent.
Carl Sagan
Human history can be viewed as a slowly dawning awareness that we are members of a larger group.
Carl Sagan
A millennium before Europeans were willing to divest themselves of the Biblical idea that the world was a few thousand years old, the Mayans were thinking of millions and the Hindus billions.
Carl Sagan
You could just as well say that an agnostic is a deeply religious person with at least a rudimentary knowledge of human fallibility.
Carl Sagan
Man is a transitional animal. He is not the climax of creation
Carl Sagan
Every star may be a sun to someone.
Carl Sagan
I am not an atheist. An atheist is someone who has compelling evidence that there is no Judeo-Christian-Islamic God. I am not that wise, but neither do I consider there to be anything approaching adequate evidence for such a god. Why are you in such a hurry to make up your mind? Why not simply wait until there is compelling evidence?
Carl Sagan
History is full of people who out of fear, or ignorance, or lust for power has destroyed knowledge of immeasurable value which truly belongs to us all. We must not let it happen again.
Carl Sagan
My deeply held belief is that if a god of anything like the traditional sort exists, our curiosity and intelligence is provided by such a God. We would be unappreciative of that gift if we suppressed our passion to explore the universe and ourselves.
Carl Sagan
The cannabis experience has greatly improved my appreciation for art, a subject which I had never much appreciated before.
Carl Sagan
I believe that in every person is a kind of circuit which resonates to intellectual discovery-and the idea is to make that resonance work
Carl Sagan
War is murder writ large.
Carl Sagan
Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you.
Carl Sagan
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology and yet have cleverly arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology.
Carl Sagan
The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.
Carl Sagan
