More quotes by Carl Sagan
Science is a way to call the bluff of those who only pretend to knowledge. It is a bulwark against mysticism, against superstition, against religion misapplied to where it has no business being.
Carl Sagan
What an astonishing thing a book is.
Carl Sagan
Sailors on a becalmed sea, we sense the stirring of a breeze.
Carl Sagan
Books are like seeds. They can lie dormant for centuries and then flower in the most unpromising soil.
Carl Sagan
Religions contradict one another-on small matters, such as whether we should put on a hat or take one off on entering a house of worship, or whether we should eat beef and eschew pork or the other way around, all the way to the most central issues, such as whether there are no gods, one God, or many gods.
Carl Sagan
Every star may be a sun to someone.
Carl Sagan
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
Carl Sagan
We are at a crossroads in human history. Never before has there been a moment so simultaneously perilous and promising. We are the first species to have taken evolution into our own hands.
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
Some racists still reject the plain testimony written in the DNA that all the races are not only human but nearly indistinguishable. . . .
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
In the long run, the aggressive civilizations destroy themselves, almost always. It's their nature. They can't help it.
Carl Sagan
While our behavior is still significantly controlled by our genetic inheritance, we have, through our brains, a much richer opportunity to blaze new behavioral and cultural pathways on short timescales.
Carl Sagan
In the vastness of the Cosmos there must be other civilizations far older and more advanced than ours.
Carl Sagan
Virtually every major technological advance in the history of the human species - back to the invention of stone tools and the domestication of fire - has been ethically ambiguous.
Carl Sagan
A single message from space will show that it is possible to live through technological adolescence. . . . It is possible that the future of human civilization depends on the receipt of interstellar messages.
Carl Sagan
It is said that men may not be the dreams of the god, but rather that the gods are the dreams of men.
Carl Sagan
Any civilization that doesn't develop space travel dies.
Carl Sagan
A still more glorious dawn awaits / not a sunrise, but a galaxy-rise / a morning filled with 400 billion suns / the rising of the milky way
Carl Sagan
UFOs: The reliable cases are uninteresting and in the interesting cases are unreliable.
Carl Sagan
