More quotes by Carl Sagan
Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.
Carl Sagan
We are made of stellar ash. Our origin and evolution have been tied to distant cosmic events. The exploration of the cosmos is a voyage of self-discovery.
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
Our intelligence is imperfect, surely, and newly arisen the ease with which it can be sweet-talked, overwhelmed, or subverted by other hardwired propensities - sometimes themselves disguised as the cool light of reason - is worrisome.
Carl Sagan
Our passion for learning ... is our tool for survival.
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
Observation: I can't see a thing. Conclusion: Dinosaurs.
Carl Sagan
You can get into a habit of thought in which you enjoy making fun of all those other people who don't see things as clearly as you do. We have to guard carefully against it.
Carl Sagan
And you are made of a hundred trillion cells. We are, each of us, a multitude.
Carl Sagan
Extraordinary claim requires extraordinary proof.
Carl Sagan
Who are we, if not measured by our impact on others?
Carl Sagan
If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you.
Carl Sagan
What's the harm of a little mystification? It sure beats boring statistical analyses.
Carl Sagan
Sailors on a becalmed sea, we sense the stirring of a breeze.
Carl Sagan
For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness.
Carl Sagan
My view is that if there is no evidence for it, then forget about it. An agnostic is somebody who doesn’t believe in something until there is evidence for it, so I’m agnostic.
Carl Sagan
I don't want to believe. I want to know.
Carl Sagan
One of the great commandments of science is: 'Mistrust arguments from authority.'
Carl Sagan
We go about our daily lives understanding almost nothing of the world.
Carl Sagan
The difference between physics and metaphysics is not that the practitioners of one are smarter than the practitioners of the other. The difference is that the metaphysicist has no laboratory.
Carl Sagan
