More quotes by 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
Science is not only compatible with spirituality it is a profound source of spirituality.
Carl Sagan
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
If I finish a book a week, I will read only a few thousand books in my lifetime, about a tenth of a percent of the contents of the greatest libraries of our time. The trick is to know which books to read.
Carl Sagan
We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.
Carl Sagan
There are as many atoms in one molecule of DNA as there are stars in a typical galaxy.
Carl Sagan
Humans are very good at dreaming, although you'd never know it from your television.
Carl Sagan
It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars. It will be a species very like us - but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses.
Carl Sagan
One trend that bothers me is the glorification of stupidity, that the media is reassuring people it's alright not to know anything. That to me is far more dangerous than a little pornography on the Internet.
Carl Sagan
What an astonishing thing a book is.
Carl Sagan
Some racists still reject the plain testimony written in the DNA that all the races are not only human but nearly indistinguishable. . . .
Carl Sagan
Not all birds can fly. What separates the flyers from the walkers is the ability to take off.
Carl Sagan
If we do not speak for Earth, who will? If we are not committed to our own survival, who will be?
Carl Sagan
First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?
Carl Sagan
For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness.
Carl Sagan
We are not smart enough to decide which pieces of knowledge are permissible and which are not.
Carl Sagan
If we're capable of conjuring up terrifying monsters in childhood, why shouldn't some of us, at least on occasion, be able to fantasize something similar, something truly horrifying, a shared delusion, as adults?
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
We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
Carl Sagan
The method of science is tried and true. It is not perfect, it's just the best we have. And to abandon it, with its skeptical protocols, is the pathway to a dark age.
Carl Sagan
