More quotes by Carl Sagan
Across the sea of space, the stars are other suns.
Carl Sagan
Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you.
Carl Sagan
The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.
Carl Sagan
A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism.
Carl Sagan
Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.
Carl Sagan
Cleverly designed experiments are the key.
Carl Sagan
We can't help it. Life looks for life.
Carl Sagan
Preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
Carl Sagan
Science is merely an extremely powerful method of winnowing what's true from what feels good.
Carl Sagan
Religions are often state-protected nurseries of pseudoscience, although there's no reason why religions have to play that role. In a way, it's an artefact from times long gone.
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
Our ancestors worshipped the Sun, and they were not that foolish. It makes sense to revere the Sun and the stars, for we are their children.
Carl Sagan
There is never only ONE of anything in nature.
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
The politicians and the religious leaders and the weapons scientists have been at it for a long time and they've made a thorough mess of it. I mean, we're in deep trouble.
Carl Sagan
All over the world there are enormous numbers of smart, even gifted, people who harbor a passion for science. But that passion is unrequited. Surveys suggest that some 95% of Americans are scientifically illiterate. That's...the same fraction...of slaves who were illiterate before the Civil War.
Carl Sagan
Every star may be a sun to someone.
Carl Sagan
If intelligence is our only edge, we must learn to use it better, to shape it, to understand its limitations and deficiencies -- to use it as cats use stealth, as katydids use camouflage -- to make it the tool of our survival.
Carl Sagan
We are, in the most profound sense, children of the Cosmos.
Carl Sagan
For all its material advantages, the sedentary life has left us edgy, unfulfilled, even after 400 generations in villages and cities, we haven't forgotten: The open road still softly calls like a nearly forgotten song of childhood.
Carl Sagan
