More quotes by Carl Sagan
The cure for a fallacious argument is a better argument, not the suppression of ideas.
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
If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you.
Carl Sagan
The neurochemistry of the brain is astonishingly busy, the circuitry of a machine more wonderful than any devised by humans. But there is no evidence that its functioning is due to anything more than the 10(14) neural connections that build an elegant architecture of consciousness.
Carl Sagan
I find science so much more fascinating than science fiction. It also has the advantage of being true.
Carl Sagan
If there is life, then I believe we should do nothing to disturb that life. Mars then, belongs to the Martians, even if they are microbes.
Carl Sagan
If we continue to accumulate only power and not wisdom, we will surely destroy ourselves.
Carl Sagan
My view is that if there is no evidence for it, then forget about it. An agnostic is somebody who doesn’t believe in something until there is evidence for it, so I’m agnostic.
Carl Sagan
Books are like seeds. They can lie dormant for centuries and then flower in the most unpromising soil.
Carl Sagan
There are more potential combinations of DNA [physical forms] than there are atoms in the universe.
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
There is never only ONE of anything in nature.
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
The illegality of cannabis is outrageous.
Carl Sagan
For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness.
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
Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.
Carl Sagan
We are made of starstuff.
Carl Sagan
Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of magic.
Carl Sagan
Recent research shows that many children without enough to eat wind up with diminished capacity to understand and learn (“cognitive impairment” ). Children don't have to be starving for this to happen. Even mild undernourishment — the kind most common among poor people in America — can do it.
