More quotes by Carl Sagan
At the extremes it is difficult to distinguish pseudoscience from rigid, doctrinaire religion.
Carl Sagan
Real patriots ask questions.
Carl Sagan
The uniqueness of humans has been claimed on many grounds, but most often because of our tool-making, culture, language, reason and morality. We have them, the other animals don't, and -- so the argument goes -- that's that.
Carl Sagan
If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you.
Carl Sagan
The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent.
Carl Sagan
There are no forbidden questions in science, no matters too sensitive or delicate to be probed, no sacred truths.
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
The immense distances to the stars and the galaxies mean that we see everything ins pace int he past, some as they were before the Earth came to be. Telescopes are time machines.
Carl Sagan
Our passion for learning ... is our tool for survival.
Carl Sagan
We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
Carl Sagan
Other things being equal, it is better to be smart than to be stupid.
Carl Sagan
Humans are very good at dreaming, although you'd never know it from your television.
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
There are lots of ways to communicate what we know, but few ways to communicate what we feel. Music is one way to communicate emotions.
Carl Sagan
The open road still softly calls, like a nearly forgotten song of childhood
Carl Sagan
Science is only a Latin word for knowledge
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
Science is merely an extremely powerful method of winnowing what's true from what feels good.
Carl Sagan
Sailors on a becalmed sea, we sense the stirring of a breeze.
Carl Sagan
We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.
Carl Sagan
