More quotes by Carl Sagan
The dumbing down of America is evident in the slow decay of substantive content, a kind of celebration of ignorance.
Carl Sagan
You could just as well say that an agnostic is a deeply religious person with at least a rudimentary knowledge of human fallibility.
Carl Sagan
War is murder writ large.
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
There is a reward structure in science that is very interesting: Our highest honors go to those who disprove the findings of the most revered among us. So Einstein is revered not just because he made so many fundamental contributions to science, but because he found an imperfection in the fundamental contribution of Isaac Newton.
Carl Sagan
At the extremes it is difficult to distinguish pseudoscience from rigid, doctrinaire religion.
Carl Sagan
Writing a novel is like trying to solve a very long mathematical equation. Changing anything can change everything else.
Carl Sagan
Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth.
Carl Sagan
The cannabis experience has greatly improved my appreciation for art, a subject which I had never much appreciated before.
Carl Sagan
But I try not to think with my gut. If I'm serious about understanding the world, thinking with anything besides my brain, as tempting as that might be, is likely to get me into trouble.
Carl Sagan
In the vastness of the Cosmos there must be other civilizations far older and more advanced than ours.
Carl Sagan
Books tap the wisdom of our species -- the greatest minds, the best teachers -- from all over the world and from all our history. And they're patient.
Carl Sagan
Our passion for learning ... is our tool for survival.
Carl Sagan
We are star stuff harvesting sunlight.
Carl Sagan
We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands.
Carl Sagan
A still more glorious dawn awaits / not a sunrise, but a galaxy-rise / a morning filled with 400 billion suns / the rising of the milky way
Carl Sagan
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology and yet have cleverly arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology.
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
We live at a moment when our relationships to each other, and to all other beings with whom we share this planet, are up for grabs.
Carl Sagan
If we teach only the findings and products of science - no matter how useful and even inspiring they may be - without communicating its critical method, how can the average person possibly distinguish science from pseudoscience?
Carl Sagan
