Carl Sagan

Carl Sagan
I worry that, especially as the Millennium edges nearer, pseudo-science and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive.
Carl Sagan
If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?
Carl Sagan
Every star may be a sun to someone.
Carl Sagan
If you want to save your child from polio, you can pray or you can inoculate....Try science.
Carl Sagan
The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.
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
