.. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the 'Momentary' masters of a 'Fraction' of a 'Dot'

The open road still softly calls, like a nearly forgotten song of childhood

We are, in the most profound sense, children of the Cosmos.

Carl Sagan 629 quotes

The library connects us with t...

The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species.

Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you.

Carl Sagan 629 quotes

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.

I find science so much more fascinating than science fiction. It also has the advantage of being true.

Carl Sagan 629 quotes

The beauty of a living thing i...

The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together. Information distilled over 4 billion years of biological evolution. Incidentally, all the organisms on the Earth are made essentially of that stuff. An eyedropper full of that liquid could be used to make a caterpillar or a petunia if only we knew how to put the components together.

Carl Sagan 629 quotes

Perhaps the depth of love can be calibrated by the number of different selves that are actively involved in a given relationship.

Carl Sagan 629 quotes

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 629 quotes

The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement, but few can argue with it.

Carl Sagan 629 quotes

Arguments from authority carry little weight Ђ' authorities have made mistakes in the past. They will do so again in the future. Perhaps a better way to say it is that in science there are no authorities; at most, there are experts.

Books are key to understanding the world and participating in a democratic society.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken...'

Carl Sagan 629 quotes

Our concern for the future can be tested by how well we support our libraries.

There is never only ONE of anything in nature.

We are not smart enough to decide which pieces of knowledge are permissible and which are not.

Any civilization that doesn't develop space travel dies.

In the way that scepticism is ...

In the way that scepticism is sometimes applied to issues of public concern, there is a tendency to belittle, to condescend, to ignore the fact that, deluded or not, supporters of superstition and pseudoscience are human beings with real feelings, who, like the sceptics, are trying to figure out how the world works and what our role in it might be. Their motives are in many cases consonant with science. If their culture has not given them all the tools they need to pursue this great quest, let us temper our criticism w

It's hard to kill a creature once it lets you see its consciousness.
