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
There are no forbidden questions in science, no matters too sensitive or delicate to be probed, no sacred truths.
Carl Sagan
She had studied the universe all her life, but had overlooked its clearest message: For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.
Carl Sagan
If we continue to accumulate only power and not wisdom, we will surely destroy ourselves.
Carl Sagan
The desire to be connected with the cosmos reflects a profound reality, but we are connected not in the trivial ways that astrology promises, but in the deepest ways.
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
We live in an in-between universe where things change all right...but according to patterns, rules, or as we call them, laws of nature.
Carl Sagan
If we ruin the earth, there is no place else to go
Carl Sagan
UFOs: The reliable cases are uninteresting and in the interesting cases are unreliable.
Carl Sagan
Man is a transitional animal. He is not the climax of creation
Carl Sagan
We wish to find the truth, no matter where it lies. But to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact.
Carl Sagan
We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
Carl Sagan
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
Carl Sagan
As the ancient myth makers knew, we are children equally of the earth and the sky.
Carl Sagan
Extraordinary observations require extraordinary evidence to make them believable.
Carl Sagan
Imagine we could accelerate continuously at 1 g-what we're comfortable with on good old terra firma-to the midpoint of our voyage, and decelerate continuously at 1 g until we arrive at our destination. It would take a day to get to Mars, a week and a half to Pluto, a year to the Oort Cloud, and a few years to the nearest stars.
Carl Sagan
I also wish that the Pledge of Allegiance were directed at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as it is when the President takes his oath of office, rather than to the flag and the nation
Carl Sagan
It took the Church until 1832 to remove Galileo 's work from its list of books which Catholics were forbidden to read at the risk of dire punishment of their immortal souls.
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
We are the custodians of life's meaning.
Carl Sagan
