More quotes by Carl Sagan
The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.
Carl Sagan
Much of human history can, I think, be described as a gradual and sometimes painful liberation from provincialism, the emerging awareness that there is more to the world than was generally believed by our ancestors.
Carl Sagan
In the long run, the aggressive civilizations destroy themselves, almost always. It's their nature. They can't help it.
Carl Sagan
Discussing the possibilities of extraterrestrial life: I would love it even if they were short, sullen, grumpy and sexually obsessed. But there just isn't any good evidence.
Carl Sagan
Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.
Carl Sagan
Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you.
Carl Sagan
He sought a way to preserve the past. John Hershel was one of the founders of a new form of time travel.... a means to capture light and memories. He actually coined a word for it... photography. When you think about it, photography is a form of time travel. This man is staring at us from across the centuries, a ghost preserved by light.
Carl Sagan
Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.
Carl Sagan
Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth.
Carl Sagan
It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know a little bit about it.
Carl Sagan
We are not smart enough to decide which pieces of knowledge are permissible and which are not.
Carl Sagan
If the constellations had been named in the twentieth century, I suppose we would see bicycles and refrigerators in the sky.
Carl Sagan
There is never only ONE of anything in nature.
Carl Sagan
Any faith that admires truth, that strives to know God, must be brave enough to accommodate the universe.
Carl Sagan
We are the custodians of life's meaning.
Carl Sagan
We are an intelligent species and the use of our intelligence quite properly gives us pleasure. In this respect the brain is like a muscle. When we think well, we feel good. Understanding is a kind of ecstasy.
Carl Sagan
What's the harm of a little mystification? It sure beats boring statistical analyses.
Carl Sagan
Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart intelligence is not information alone but also judgement, the manner in which information is coordinated and used.
Carl Sagan
Those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will penetrate its deepest mysteries.
Carl Sagan
I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students.
Carl Sagan
