More quotes by Carl Sagan
Perhaps the depth of love can be calibrated by the number of different selves that are actively involved in a given relationship.
Carl Sagan
A tiny blue dot set in a sunbeam. Here it is. That's where we live. That's home. We humans are one species and this is our world. It is our responsibility to cherish it. Of all the worlds in our solar system, the only one so far as we know, graced by life.
Carl Sagan
Our ancestors lived out of doors. They were as familiar with the night sky as most of us are with our favorite television programs.
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 say that God has always been, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always been?
Carl Sagan
Many religions have attempted to make statues of their gods very large, and the idea, I suppose, is to make us feel small. But if that's their purpose, they can keep their paltry icons. We need only look up if we wish to feel small.
Carl Sagan
Cleverly designed experiments are the key.
Carl Sagan
I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue.
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
It seems madness to say, 'We're worried that they're going to become addicted to marijuana' -- there's no evidence whatever that it's an addictive drug, but even if it were, these people are dying, what are we saving them from?
Carl Sagan
Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors.
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
In all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.
Carl Sagan
The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.
Carl Sagan
I don't want to believe. I want to know.
Carl Sagan
Since, in the long run, every planetary society will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring — not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive.
Carl Sagan
The cure for a fallacious argument is a better argument, not the suppression of ideas.
Carl Sagan
There is never only ONE of anything in nature.
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
The politicians and the religious leaders and the weapons scientists have been at it for a long time and they've made a thorough mess of it. I mean, we're in deep trouble.
Carl Sagan
