More quotes by 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 are the universe experiencing itself.
Carl Sagan
If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you.
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
Other things being equal, it is better to be smart than to be stupid.
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
The gears of poverty, ignorance, hopelessness and low self-esteem interact to create a kind of perpetual failure machine that grinds down dreams from generation to generation. We all bear the cost of keeping it running. Illiteracy is its linchpin.
Carl Sagan
Man is the matter of the cosmos, contemplating itself.
Carl Sagan
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
Carl Sagan
The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.
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
It's hard to kill a creature once it lets you see its consciousness.
Carl Sagan
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.
Carl Sagan
We are prodding, challenging, seeking contradictions or small, persistent residual errors, proposing alternative explanations, encouraging heresy. We give our highest rewards to those who convincingly disprove established beliefs.
Carl Sagan
We humans look rather different from a tree. Without a doubt we perceive the world differently than a tree does. But down deep, at the molecular heart of life, the trees and we are essentially identical.
Carl Sagan
Not all birds can fly. What separates the flyers from the walkers is the ability to take off.
Carl Sagan
The cannabis experience has greatly improved my appreciation for art, a subject which I had never much appreciated before.
Carl Sagan
The prediction of nuclear winter is drawn not, of course, from any direct experience with the consequences of global nuclear war, but rather from an investigation of the governing physics.
Carl Sagan
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
Human beings have a demonstrated talent for self-deception when their emotions are stirred.
Carl Sagan
