More quotes by Carl Sagan
To live in the hearts of others is to never die in those we leave behind.
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
We are made of starstuff.
Carl Sagan
By looking far out into space we are also looking far back into time, back toward the horizon of the universe, back toward the epoch of the Big Bang.
Carl Sagan
Real patriots ask questions.
Carl Sagan
By exploring other worlds we safeguard this one. By itself, I think this fact more than justifies the money our species has spent in sending ships to other worlds. It is our fate to live during one of the most perilous and, at the same time, one of the most hopeful chapters in human history.
Carl Sagan
Those who seek power at any price detect a societal weakness, a fear that they can ride into office.
Carl Sagan
For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness.
Carl Sagan
And after we returned to the savannahs and abandoned the trees, did we long for those great graceful leaps and ecstatic moments of weightlessness in the shafts of sunlight of the forest roof?
Carl Sagan
Some racists still reject the plain testimony written in the DNA that all the races are not only human but nearly indistinguishable. . . .
Carl Sagan
We humans appear on the cosmic calendar so recently that our recorded history occupies only the last few seconds of the last minute of December 31st.
Carl Sagan
We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
Carl Sagan
Science is not only compatible with spirituality it is a profound source of spirituality.
Carl Sagan
We are the custodians of life's meaning.
Carl Sagan
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
Carl Sagan
If we ruin the earth, there is no place else to go
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
We are made of star-stuff. Our bodies are made of star-stuff. There are pieces of star within us all.
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
The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard, who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by 'God,' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.
Carl Sagan
