More quotes by Carl Sagan
As the ancient myth makers knew, we are children equally of the earth and the sky.
Carl Sagan
In the fabric of space and in the nature of matter, as in a great work of art, there is, written small, the artist's signature.
Carl Sagan
In a complex universe, in a society undergoing unprecedented change, how can we find the truth if we are not willing to question everything and to give a fair hearing to everything?
Carl Sagan
The simplest thought, like the concept of the number one, has an elaborate logical underpinning.
Carl Sagan
Accommodation to change, the thoughtful pursuit of alternative futures are keys to the survival of civilization and perhaps of the human species.
Carl Sagan
Science is only a Latin word for knowledge
Carl Sagan
The cure for a fallacious argument is a better argument, not the suppression of ideas.
Carl Sagan
When you realize that no one really knows what they are doing and that everyone is doing the best they can according to their own level of consciousness, life gets a lot easier. Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
Carl Sagan
Understanding is a kind of ecstasy
Carl Sagan
The illegality of cannabis is outrageous.
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
We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
Carl Sagan
Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.
Carl Sagan
There are lots of ways to communicate what we know, but few ways to communicate what we feel. Music is one way to communicate emotions.
Carl Sagan
In all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.
Carl Sagan
The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.
Carl Sagan
If chimpanzees have consciousness, if they are capable of abstractions, do they not have what until now has been described as 'human rights'? How smart does a chimp have to be before killing him constitutes murder?
Carl Sagan
The well-meaning contention that all ideas have equal merit seems to me little different from the disastrous contention that no ideas have any merit.
Carl Sagan
Man is the matter of the cosmos, contemplating itself.
Carl Sagan
An atheist has to know a lot more than I know. An atheist is someone who knows there is no god. By some definitions atheism is very stupid.
Carl Sagan
