More quotes by Carl Sagan

Image
The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. From it we have learned most of what we know. Recently, we have waded a little out to sea, enough to dampen our toes or, at most, wet our ankles. The water seems inviting. The ocean calls.
Carl Sagan
Image
The evidence, so far at least and laws of Nature aside, does not require a Designer. Maybe there is one hiding, maddeningly unwilling to be revealed.
Carl Sagan
Image
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.
Carl Sagan
Image
We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands. The loom of time and space works the most astonishing transformations of matter.
Carl Sagan
Image
I don?t feel rejected by the sky. I?m a part of it- tiny, to be sure, but everything is tiny compared to that overwhelming immensity.
Carl Sagan
Image
The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.
Carl Sagan
Image
Every time you look up at the sky, every one of those points of light is a reminder that fusion power is extractable from hydrogen and other light elements, and it is an everyday reality throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.
Carl Sagan
Image
If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you.
Carl Sagan
Image
Observation: I can't see a thing. Conclusion: Dinosaurs.
Carl Sagan
Image
In all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.
Carl Sagan
Image
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
Image
Every star may be a sun to someone.
Carl Sagan
Image
When you look more generally at life on Earth, you find that it is all the same kind of life. There are not many different kinds there's only one kind. It uses about fifty fundamental biological building blocks, organic molecules.
Carl Sagan
Image
Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you.
Carl Sagan
Image
For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness.
Carl Sagan
Image
Man is the matter of the cosmos, contemplating itself.
Carl Sagan
Image
There are more potential combinations of DNA [physical forms] than there are atoms in the universe.
Carl Sagan
Image
Science is an attempt, largely successful, to understand the world, to get a grip on things, to get hold of ourselves, to steer a safe course. Microbiology and meteorology now explain what only a few centuries ago was considered sufficient cause to burn women to death.
Carl Sagan
Image
The wind whips through the canyons of the American Southwest, and there is no one to hear it but us - a reminder of the 40,000 generations of thinking men and women who preceded us, about whom we know almost nothing, upon whom our civilization is based.

If you want to make a [rhubarb] pie from scratch, first you have to create the universe.
