More quotes by 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
If the press descended, the science would surely suffer.
Carl Sagan
In our time, we have sifted the sands of Mars, we have established a presence there, we have fulfilled a century of dreams!
Carl Sagan
The very act of understanding is a celebration of joining, merging, even if on a very modest scale, with the magnificence of the Cosmos.
Carl Sagan
Otherwise we don't run the government the government runs us
Carl Sagan
We are, in the most profound sense, children of the Cosmos.
Carl Sagan
Humans are very good at dreaming, although you'd never know it from your television.
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
If we are merely matter intricately assembled, is this really demeaning? If there's nothing here but atoms, does that make us less or does that make matter more?
Carl Sagan
Human beings grew up in forests we have a natural affinity for them. How lovely a tree is, straining toward the sky.
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
Every time you look up at the sky, every one of those points of light is a reminder that fusion power is extractable from hydrogen and other light elements, and it is an everyday reality throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.
Carl Sagan
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
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
Our ancestors lived out of doors. They were as familiar with the night sky as most of us are with our favorite television programs.
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
We are made of starstuff.
Carl Sagan
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.
Carl Sagan
There are as many atoms in one molecule of DNA as there are stars in a typical galaxy.
Carl Sagan
The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. From it we have learned most of what we know. Recently, we have waded a little out to sea, enough to dampen our toes or, at most, wet our ankles. The water seems inviting. The ocean calls.
Carl Sagan
