Text Quotes
All of the rocky and metallic material we stand on, the iron in our blood, the calcium in our teeth, the carbon in our genes were produced billions of years ago in the interior of a red giant star. We are made of star stuff  (Carl Sagan Quotes) Each of us is a tiny being, permitted to ride on the outermost skin of one of the smaller planets for a few dozen trips around the local star  (Carl Sagan Quotes) The desire to be connected with the cosmos reflects a profound reality, but we are connected; not in the trivial ways that astrology promises, but in the deepest ways  (Carl Sagan Quotes) I maintain there is much more wonder in science than in pseudoscience. And in addition, to whatever measure this term has any meaning, science has the additional virtue, and it is not an inconsiderable one, of being true  (Carl Sagan Quotes) One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time  (Carl Sagan Quotes) Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people  (Carl Sagan Quotes) It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science  (Carl Sagan Quotes) I would be very ashamed of my civilization if we did not try to find out if there is life in outer space  (Carl Sagan Quotes) All inquires carry with them some element of risk. There is no guarantee that the universe will conform to our predispositions  (Carl Sagan Quotes) A religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths. Sooner or later such a religion will emerge  (Carl Sagan Quotes) We wish to find the truth, no matter where it lies. But to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact  (Carl Sagan Quotes) You could just as well say that an agnostic is a deeply religious person with at least a rudimentary knowledge of human fallibility  (Carl Sagan Quotes) There are no forbidden questions in science, no matters too sensitive or delicate to be probed, no sacred truths  (Carl Sagan Quotes) You can get into a habit of thought in which you enjoy making fun of all those other people who don’t see things as clearly as you do. We have to guard carefully against it  (Carl Sagan Quotes) The universe is a pretty big place. If it’s just us, seems like an awful waste of space  (Carl Sagan Quotes) I think the discomfort that some people feel in going to the monkey cages at the zoo is a warning sign  (Carl Sagan Quotes) 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 Quotes) I think if we ever reach the point where we think we thoroughly understand who we are and where we came from, we will have failed  (Carl Sagan Quotes) It goes with a courageous intent to greet the universe as it really is, not to foist our emotional predispositions on it but to courageously accept what our explorations tell us  (Carl Sagan Quotes) Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves  (Carl Sagan Quotes) 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 Quotes) The prediction I can make with the highest confidence is that the most amazing discoveries will be the ones we are not today wise enough to foresee  (Carl Sagan Quotes) In all our searching, the only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other  (Carl Sagan Quotes) And you are made of a hundred trillion cells. We are, each of us, a multitude  (Carl Sagan Quotes) When we look up at night and view the stars, everything we see is shinning because of distant nuclear fusion  (Carl Sagan Quotes) It is said that men may not be the dreams of the God, but rather that the gods are the dreams of men  (Carl Sagan 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 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 Quotes) Arguments from authority carry little weight – 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  (Carl Sagan Quotes) We humans look rather different from a tree. Without a doubt we perceive the world differently than a tree does. But down deep, at the molecular heart of life, the trees and we are essentially identical  (Carl Sagan Quotes)
