More quotes by Carl Sagan
You can get into a habit of thought in which you enjoy making fun of all those other people who don't see things as clearly as you do. We have to guard carefully against it.
Carl Sagan
Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.
Carl Sagan
We are star stuff harvesting sunlight.
Carl Sagan
If we continue to accumulate only power and not wisdom, we will surely destroy ourselves.
Carl Sagan
It's hard to kill a creature once it lets you see its consciousness.
Carl Sagan
UFOs: The reliable cases are uninteresting and in the interesting cases are unreliable.
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
There are as many atoms in one molecule of DNA as there are stars in a typical galaxy.
Carl Sagan
Is mankind alone in the universe? Or are there somewhere other intelligent beings looking up into their night sky from very different worlds and asking the same kind of question?
Carl Sagan
A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism.
Carl Sagan
I also wish that the Pledge of Allegiance were directed at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as it is when the President takes his oath of office, rather than to the flag and the nation
Carl Sagan
When you make the finding yourself - even if you're the last person on Earth to see the light - you'll never forget it.
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
Perhaps the depth of love can be calibrated by the number of different selves that are actively involved in a given relationship.
Carl Sagan
The old appeals to racial, sexual and religious chauvinism to rabid nationalist fervor, are beginning not to work.
Carl Sagan
We go about our daily lives understanding almost nothing of the world.
Carl Sagan
The illegality of cannabis is outrageous.
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
Science is more than a body of knowledge. It's a way of thinking: a way of skeptically interrogating the universe.
Carl Sagan
The visions we offer our children shape the future. It _matters_ what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies. Dreams are maps.
Carl Sagan
