More quotes by Carl Sagan
Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns.
Carl Sagan
If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you.
Carl Sagan
He didn't want to believe. He wanted to know.
Carl Sagan
The open road still softly calls, like a nearly forgotten song of childhood
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
If we're capable of conjuring up terrifying monsters in childhood, why shouldn't some of us, at least on occasion, be able to fantasize something similar, something truly horrifying, a shared delusion, as adults?
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
Because men, compared to male chimps, have such relatively small testicles (large testicles indicate a species where many males mate, one after the other, with the same female), we might guess that promiscuous societies were uncommon in the immediate human past.
Carl Sagan
Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.
Carl Sagan
Any civilization that doesn't develop space travel dies.
Carl Sagan
Those who seek power at any price detect a societal weakness, a fear that they can ride into office.
Carl Sagan
The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be.
Carl Sagan
Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
Carl Sagan
But I could be wrong.
Carl Sagan
I think if we ever reach the point where we think we thoroughly understand who we are and where we came from, we will have failed.
Carl Sagan
I think the discomfort that some people feel in going to the monkey cages at the zoo is a warning sign.
Carl Sagan
Extraordinary observations require extraordinary evidence to make them believable.
Carl Sagan
Real patriots ask questions.
Carl Sagan
We go about our daily lives understanding almost nothing of the world.
Carl Sagan
For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness.
Carl Sagan
