More quotes by Carl Sagan
At the extremes it is difficult to distinguish pseudoscience from rigid, doctrinaire religion.
Carl Sagan
If the constellations had been named in the twentieth century, I suppose we would see bicycles and refrigerators in the sky.
Carl Sagan
Human history can be viewed as a slowly dawning awareness that we are members of a larger group.
Carl Sagan
The understanding of the intent of the artist which I can achieve when high sometimes carries over to when I’m down. This is one of many human frontiers which cannabis has helped me traverse.
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
A googolplex is precisely as far from infinity as is the number 1... no matter what number you have in mind, infinity is larger still.
Carl Sagan
We are, in the most profound sense, children of the Cosmos.
Carl Sagan
Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence
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
Advances in medicine and agriculture have saved vastly more lives than have been lost in all the wars in history.
Carl Sagan
The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.
Carl Sagan
Understanding is a kind of ecstasy
Carl Sagan
The simplest thought, like the concept of the number one, has an elaborate logical underpinning.
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
A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed. We are one planet.
Carl Sagan
We humans appear on the cosmic calendar so recently that our recorded history occupies only the last few seconds of the last minute of December 31st.
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
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
The hole in the ozone layer is a kind of skywriting. At first it seemed to spell out our continuing complacency before a witch's brew of deadly perils. But perhaps it really tells of a newfound talent to work together to protect the global environment.
Carl Sagan
Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors.
Carl Sagan
