It is clear that the nations of the world now can only rise and fall together. It is not a question of one nation winning at the expense of another. We must all help one another or all perish together.

More quotes by Carl Sagan
Every star may be a sun to someone.
Carl Sagan
The cannabis experience has greatly improved my appreciation for art, a subject which I had never much appreciated before.
Carl Sagan
Our ancestors worshipped the Sun, and they were not that foolish. It makes sense to revere the Sun and the stars, for we are their children.
Carl Sagan
When you realize that no one really knows what they are doing and that everyone is doing the best they can according to their own level of consciousness, life gets a lot easier. Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
Carl Sagan
Absolute certainty will always elude us. We will always be mired in error. The most each generation can hope for is to reduce the error. . . .
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
These days there seems to be nowhere left to explore, at least on the land area of the Earth. Victims of their very success, the explorers now pretty much stay home.
Carl Sagan
If we ruin the earth, there is no place else to go
Carl Sagan
You're capable of such beautiful dreams and such horrible nightmares.
Carl Sagan
Not all birds can fly. What separates the flyers from the walkers is the ability to take off.
Carl Sagan
I think if we ever reach the point where we think we thoroughly understand who we are and where we came from, we will have failed.
Carl Sagan
Human history can be viewed as a slowly dawning awareness that we are members of a larger group.
Carl Sagan
If we can't think for ourselves, if we're unwilling to question authority, then we're just putty in the hands of those in power.
Carl Sagan
Our intelligence is imperfect, surely, and newly arisen the ease with which it can be sweet-talked, overwhelmed, or subverted by other hardwired propensities - sometimes themselves disguised as the cool light of reason - is worrisome.
Carl Sagan
We go about our daily lives understanding almost nothing of the world.
Carl Sagan
It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science.
Carl Sagan
He didn't want to believe. He wanted to know.
Carl Sagan
We are made of stellar ash. Our origin and evolution have been tied to distant cosmic events. The exploration of the cosmos is a voyage of self-discovery.
Carl Sagan
Science is merely an extremely powerful method of winnowing what's true from what feels good.
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
